RationalWiki:Articles for demotion/Racism

Racism | Result: Promoted to no brainstar[edit]

The text of this article includes several questionable propositions (including citing just-so stories without critical examination, and uncritical promotion of Jared Diamond's work despite the numerous issues that have been raised up by academic reviews of his corpus of material), entire paragraphs without citations, and definitional issues that have been raised on the talk page. The article also glosses over the effects of neocolonialism (to say that "only Africa" is affected by neocolonialism is... questionable to say the least.) Entire areas of the globe also remain not just subject to neocolonialism, but classical colonial domination (Puerto Rico has been characterized as a colonial client-state of the American imperial heartland by numerous academic and even governmental reviews, for instance.)

RationalWiki has confusingly reversed the meanings of promotion/demotion for the purposes of article ratings (I've been confused by this myself), so you're actually proposing a promotion in RW-speak. Also, we generally don't require a vote for bronzing/debronzing, only for silver and gold. Bongolian (talk) 07:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
This article is contentious and of prime importance to the mission, so I thought I should get a consensus first. Carthage (talk) 07:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
