πŸ™‹πŸΎβ€β™€οΈThanks for some thought provoking observations that aren't (directly) about sports or politics πŸ˜‰

I like your George Mack quotes - but of course it depends on the role being filled whether "charisma" is a good or bad trait? Probably a back room data analyst needs less but a PR front person needs SOME at least?? Love the "high agency" list - most neuro-diverse people would score high (highly?) on that!

The study purporting to show that white liberals are more likely to talk down to black people certainly needs more nuance, & I'm not interested enough to follow up. However an initial thought is that it could be a bias towards inclusivity - it is/was a FACT that black Americans were disproportionately likely to leave education before gaining higher levels of "achievement" so the liberal doesn't want the perceived black person to feel you are flexing your superior education & command of words to show them up? And is it REALLY "talking down" per se? Maybe just self-awareness of a propensity to use big words when simple words convey the same meaning?

😁As a definite non-foodie, I can still be happy for YOU that you achieved your wish & it didn't disappoint on this occasion 😸
