I doubt you're all that familiar with his work if you think his main point is anti-diversity. Read The Righteous Mind. It's a really good book.


I am not familiar with his work, I watched his videos on YouTube. In the videos he is frequently talking against diversity and equity, and I was surprised a Professor of his stature advocating against diversity and equity. I found his arguments divisive and thought it was directed at the diversity and equity initiatives aimed at increasing enrollment of people of color in major universities and technology companies like Google.

Maybe his books are good, haven’t read it. I will listen to it on audible.


He is not advocating against diversity and equity. You’re completely misunderstanding what he is saying.


Being against affirmative action is a valid point of view.
