UCLA Student States There Should Be More Black Students
Spectrum Street Epistemology
Peter uses Spectrum Street Epistemology to engage two UCLA students about race. One is a black student athlete from Chicago and the other is from Italy. Initially, the claims dealt with race at UCLA, broaching topics such as the racial makeup of UCLA, meritocracy, and truth. Eventually, the conversation evolves into whether it should be okay to exclude people based on race.
Midway through, Peter joins the two students. Reid Nicewonder, the President of Street Epistemology International, moderates the conversation. There are several points of disagreement between Peter and the students, particularly when it comes to meritocracy and racial affinity groups.
I always enjoy your ability to have these discussions. Very few people are willing.
Very interesting! One of the best. I really think that Peter should join in on every single one of these videos! Most people are not very articulate and are not adept at making a solid argument. There were times in this video and many others where the person wasn't answering the question. They need somebody to challenge them and to also show them how to make a proper argument.
