Dr. Keon West, visiting professor of political science at the London School of Economics, to discuss his recent book The Science of Racism: Everything You Need To Know But Probably Don’t-Yet.
Dr. Keon West then joins, diving right into his data-driven approach to highlighting the existence of racism, and how we can (and have) run experiments to test for differential treatment on the grounds of race (and nothing but race), highlighting various experiments displaying blantant racial descrimination in hiring practices, pre-elementary child education, and the medical industry, as he, Sam, and Emma walk through the minimal role the race of the descriminator plays in these situations, and why, despite mainstream narratives, many of the biases being displayed are concious and active. After expanding the conversation to include the extensive data behind the racial descrimination in contemporary American policing, and unpacking the lie of the “Black on Black crime” narrative, Dr. West steps back to tackle the ebb and flow of racial descrimination over time, with the last four hundred years seeing a drastic evolution in racial biases, tracing periods of particularly extreme racism to both economic straing and the platforming and normalization of this bigotry by sociopolitical leaders. Dr. Keon West, Sam, and Emma also discuss the importance of centering on society’s overwhelming discomfort with racism (even when exercising it), what it means to do something about racism, and what to make of the fraudulant attacks on the admittedly problematic policy of DEI, before wrapping up by highlighting the role of clear data analysis – rather than vague appeals to authority – in helping push people away from bigotry.
