Awww, the soft bigotry of low expectations is the bread and butter of the Left. Sorry, not sorry.
Their entire platform is based on the idea that people CAN’T do for themselves and need the government to make life easier for them. And of course, when Conservatives disagree and believe people should be seen as individuals and expected to figure things out as they become adults, that makes them mean ol’ racists or something.
Which makes these findings from Yale researchers all the more interesting:
Wtf.
Researchers found that liberal individuals were less likely to use words that would make them appear highly competent when the person they were addressing was presumed to be black rather than white. No significant differences were seen in the word selection of conservatives

From Yale:
The researchers found that liberal individuals were less likely to use words that would make them appear highly competent when the person they were addressing was presumed to be black rather than white. No significant differences were seen in the word selection of conservatives based on the presumed race of their partner. “It was kind of an unpleasant surprise to see this subtle but persistent effect,” Dupree says. “Even if it’s ultimately well-intentioned, it could be seen as patronizing.”
Dupree and Fiske suspect that the behavior stems from a liberal person’s desire to connect with other races. One possible reason for the “competence downshift,” as the authors describe it, is that, regardless of race, people tend to downplay their competence when they want to appear likeable and friendly. But it’s also possible that “this is happening because people are using common stereotypes in an effort to get along,” Dupree says.
Remember when Hillary claimed she carries hot sauce around in her purse?
Hahahahahaha.
Could it be racism? Yes it could.

Good times.
White* liberal individuals. This will come as no surprise to any brown liberal who has ever had a white liberal address them as "sista" or use whatever other ridiculous word choices they think will help us relate.

This is why white liberals think they need to speak up because… you know… “those people” just don’t know how to put together a sound argument, you know?

And to think, Liberals think Conservatives are racist.
The irony.
