    Love it. I especially thought the introspective “aside” section on related resources was great, and I wish more people would show this kind of reflection.

      Thanks! I hope to send lots of love those ways, they're basically all things that I found outside of this work that I liked enough to remember (I think Humanae was the one that I found while doing this).

        I definitely don't speak for all non-white people when I say this, but personally I find people obsessing over it disturbing/offensive independent of whether their intentions are racist or anti-racist. I did find modeling/data-driven perspective cool though

          I also agree. Yes, humans need to be reminded that not all humans are just like their immediate group, but that goes for all humans, not just the white ones. And I certainly don't get accusations of racism that come along with it. But then I don't really get the needing to be represented thing either. Was I represented by Mario???
