I was a super shy kid growing up. Had learning issues from a hearing problem that luckily was corrected but it still made me afraid to approach new people.

Do you see how this response is exactly what Gelman was talking about? Instead of looking inward to examine your own biases, you presume someone is “talking down” to you when he’s discussing his own experience and asking for a greater variety of voices to work with and watch.

Karkus or gtfo.
