These people are clearly unable to distinguish between "the territory" and "the person who talks about the territory".
What about that sentence makes you think that the person isn't able to make that distinction?
If you look at YCombinator the semantics are a bit different but the message isn't that different. YCombinator also talks about how diversity is important. The epistemic method they teach founders is not to think abstractly about a topic and engage with it analytically but that it's important to speak to people to understand their own unique experiences and views of the world.
David Chapman's article going down on the phenomenon is also quite good.
It's interesting how the link you posted talks about importance of using the right metaphors, while at the same time you object against my conclusion that people saying "logic itself has white supremacist history" can't distinguish between the topic and the people who talk about the topic.
To explain my position, I believe that anyone who says either "logic is sexist and racist" or "I am going to rape this equation" should visit a therapist.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
