Bio: http://trigg.gr/tag/IRLScholarKehindeAndrews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehinde_Andrews vs. http://trigg.gr/tag/WebsiteSpikedRakibEhsan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakib_Ehsan Concept: http://trigg.gr/tag/NarrativeBelongingWhiteAdjacency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_adjacency http://trigg.gr/tag/OtheringDiscriminationRacismInternalized Criticism: the discussion pivots on the expectation that difference/similarity is the sole consequence of lived experience - where in the case of http://trigg.gr/tag/IRLScholarKehindeAndrews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehinde_Andrews http://trigg.gr/tag/WebsiteSpikedRakibEhsan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakib_Ehsan - who are both http://trigg.gr/tag/IdentityBlackAsianAndMinorityEthnicBAME - it is necessarily their 'Blackness', which determines their worldview. It is a fallacious conception which fails to recognise that complex nature of how worldviews are shaped. For example, the simple distinction that the two commentators are non-white doesn't automatically mean that their perspectives should be aligned. For example, there is a concept known as http://trigg.gr/tag/NarrativeBelongingWhiteAdjacency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_adjacency where there is an assumed cultural hegemony which some members of a non-white or marginal group seek to align with to bolster their sense of worth and social status. It's the notion that http://trigg.gr/tag/OtheringDiscriminationRacismInternalized as illustrated in the famous http://trigg.gr/tag/OtheringDiscriminationRacismInternalizedDollTest (Legal Defense Fund., 2024). And so, following the same logic - while the perspectives of Andrews and Ehsan must necessarily align - similarly, the perspectives of Lubna Farhan and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson for example, must necessarily conflict https://newpractices.co.uk/ReactionaryPolitics/#qFpfRDIbhjo because on the face of it there is no commonality between being a British Pakistani (as Farhan identifies) and being aBritish far-right activist/ethnonationalist (as Yaxley-Lennon identifies). Context: "In the 1940s, psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark designed and conducted a series of experiments known colloquially as 'the doll tests' to study the psychological effects of segregation on African-American children. Drs. Clark used four dolls, identical except for color, to test children's racial perceptions. Their subjects, children between the ages of three to seven, were asked to identify both the race of the dolls and which color doll they prefer. A majority of the children preferred the white doll and assigned positive characteristics to it. The Clarks concluded that 'prejudice, discrimination, and segregation' created a feeling of inferiority among African-American children and damaged their self-esteem" (Legal Defense Fund., 2024).
