| schestowitz | It is my understanding that modern scholarship has thoroughly debunked this thinking. That is, there are real and measurable differences between races (english, hungarian, tibetan, etc.) which we define as clusters in genetic statistics, and these do manifest generally across all facets of human behavior much like they manifest generally across physical characteristics. If memory serves, there was never any real basis for this | Oct 14 00:29 |
| schestowitz | theory (Stephen Jay Gould’s anthropolgy, although I believe the theory of racial equality itself dates back to the nineteen twenties), but it was widely repeated since it is something we desperately want to believe. | Oct 14 00:29 |
| schestowitz | Despite this all I still hope we can keep up the illusion for long enough to normalize designer babies, which may sweep aside all of these racial issues. Really who is going to worry about englishmen vs russians when your kids are perfectly charismatic geniuses immune to disease. Still, I anticipate here a class element that will be incredibly dangerous… So there may be no winning move. But it is probably not right to go around. | Oct 14 00:29 |

| schestowitz | I mean, race is largely seen to be a byproduct of culture and where one grows up rather than a biological mandate. Whiteness or blackness are often more in reference to a larger historical narrative, rather than a particular set of chromosomes or gene sequences.

| schestowitz | Gender itself has cultural elements that itself can seem rather arbitrary when detached from biology. Quite a few people are born in some kind of middle position through conditions such as Kleinsfelters, and gender identity disorder can indicate an underlying condition an individual has struggled with their entire life, no matter how hard they try to "be normal". Leading mental health experts on the subject have found that | Oct 14 00:30 |

| schestowitz | transitioning and affirming said individual's validity of identity through such a transition is critical for that person's mental health and quality of life. Even if it's not on a psychiatric basis, who gets to decide what an individual gets to look like, or what names they get to use? | Oct 14 00:30 |
| schestowitz | While we're at it, most systems attempting to measure and indicate intelligence are predicated on a rather narrow set of criteria, such as pattern recognition and memory recall. In fact, the Intelligence Quotient isn't actually much of a practical measurement for much of anything, and does little to distinguish the lines between being educated and actually having fortitude of intellect: the world is full of educated stupid people. | Oct 14 00:30 |
| schestowitz | I can understand feeling worried at this idea that everything is being overturned and redefined into some weird ideological artifice, that our seemingly concrete foundations are eroding away into abstract vagueness, but honestly, I feel it's more of an overreaction towards just calling everything black and white all the time, and failing to observe nuances and complexities that have always been there. | Oct 14 00:30 |

| schestowitz | The application process was very unpleasant. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Right off the bat, I was honest and truthful about all of our information, and that did include some things that were more of an embarrassment than scandalous. I reported our income to the last dollar, which was well over their requirements. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Then "Ericka Gonzalez" and her boss (forget the name) told us the application would be reviewed shortly. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | The better part of 2 weeks went by. Meanwhile, I pulled our tenant screening reports under the FACT Act for my records. Then I get a call back from Ericka to say that my husband's Social Security Number was "invalid". | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | What that turned out to be was that it was issued <5 years ago by SSA because he's an immigrant, and when I called the screening company, they also told me that she only reported 1/3rd of our monthly income, which was causing us to be denied, and that she told them we were applying for a more expensive unit, which also wasn't helping. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | They also mistyped our address and then accused us of not living where we said we did, even though they had photocopies of our licenses and the mistake was obviously theirs. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | So then I went, in person, with all of our documents, to try to get this sorted out so that the application process could proceed. When I went to the office, Ericka's boss said it was "suspicious" that we lived in an extended stay motel for a year and a half (Why is that suspicious?) and that we pulled our screening reports (Why is that suspicious?). | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | When I informed Ericka's boss of the FACT Act she said she'd never heard of it and that it was (apparently) a major red flag that I was exercising a legal right passed by Congress so that you know what a credit report said about you and have a chance to respond to non-factual information and errors. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | A few more minutes of me trying to get through to them turned into Ericka and her boss screaming "WE HAVE BETTER APPLICANTS THAN YOU! YOU'RE DENIED! YOU'RE DENIED!" and going into a vituperative and childish meltdown against me. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Meanwhile, they got on the horn with their boss guy, Ibraham, down in Chicago at the HQ "Creative Designs", who I had also been trying to deal with, and just flat out lied and claim that the reasonable discussion I came to have with them was me "being intimidating", which is comical. When I called him again to see if we could still work something out, he wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise and kept shouting "YOU INTIMIDATE THEM | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | YOU INTIMIDATE THEM!!! LEAVE PROPERTY NOW!", followed by the maintenance guy pulling up in a pickup truck and.....trying to intimidate me until I left the place. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | These people are impossible to work with, they use a fly by night screening company, they can't seem to do simple data entry jobs yet they manage an entire apartment complex. Personally, I've never been so insulted in my life. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Do not walk. Run. This was a waste of an application fee and the extra money I spent at the motel dropping to a weekly rate expecting to hear back from them. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | I can't say definitively whether my spouse being an immigrant or us being gay had anything to do with the treatment, but it wouldn't surprise me. | Oct 14 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Every time I tried working with them to solve one of the problems they created, they would create more. | Oct 14 19:07 |
| schestowitz | The truth is that they simply don't have better applicants than us. I have ZERO landlord actions on my report because we pay our rent in full, without demand, EARLY, and I have been doing so from age 18 to 36. | Oct 14 19:07 |
| schestowitz | In this household, we do not spend outrageous sums of money on ridiculous things. We're frugal. We're polite. We're quiet. They would have never known we were there except for the rent coming in on time with no excuses, but they think they know everything, and I'm sure that's why they had to point out that "If something goes wrong, we can't evict.". Because they've never mistakenly moved in people that couldn't pay and wouldn't get | Oct 14 19:07 |
