Scientists Working on Language-Police Twitter Bots to Protect Black Feelings

Good thing scientists are working on this stuff instead of curing cancer or flying us to Mars.

So, a social scientist has spent months – and probably a lot of money – to find out that racists don’t care about what Black people think.

Seriously.

They could have just asked me.

Vice:

If you’re black and want to ask a white person to stop being racist on Twitter, it may be more effective to have a white friend do it for you.

If you’re black and need anything done, it’ll be more effective to have a White friend do it for you. Duh.

And Tyrone was so close, too. He should have asked a White man to help.

That’s what the data indicates in a recent paper published by NYU political science graduate student Keith Munger. He conducted an experiment in which he tracked white Twitter users who were calling people the n-word. He then created four accounts: two with a white cartoon face and two with a black one; one of each had 500 followers, and one of each had only two followers.

Whenever a subject used the n-word again, he had one of the accounts send them a simple tweet: “Hey man, just remember there are real people who are hurt when you harass them with that kind of language.”

 

In general, only users who got a tweet from a white account with hundreds of followers reduced their usage of the slur. Black accounts, on the other hand, were unsuccessful. And one set of subjects actually tweeted out more racist comments after being gently nudged by a black account with only two followers.

I called Keith Munger to ask why white people using racist language appeared to listen only to white Twitter bots.

They’re synthesizing crypto-Jewish twitter bots now? The future is bleak indeed.

What did you expect to find?
The theory I was testing suggested that tweets from white bots — which for white people is their “in-group” — have a perceived shared identity, and that they would have the largest effect. And that’s what I found.

“Perceived?”

Ah, yeah. I forgot that race was a social construct. My bad.

It’s all a matter of perception, goy!

What is it about black bots that made them less effective?

There are two things going on here when I send that tweet. First, I’m getting them out of their social group identity, and reminding them of their individual identity. As individuals, they know it’s wrong. Second, I’m showing them that their behavior is not appropriate for the group that they see themselves as belonging to. And my experiment found that the second part didn’t work as well with black bots.

“They know it’s wrong.”

Such smug assurance of their own moral supremacy.

In the new world we’re building, not calling Black people the n-word constantly will be enough to make anyone a social outcast.

And that world is coming sooner than you think.

So if you’re asking white people to stop being racist, it’s more effective to use a white face?
Right. The lack of an effect from the black bot is because the subject doesn’t feel like they have anything in common with a black person.

I wonder where they got that idea.

One one hand, this is worrying because it suggests these people are seriously thinking about creating an army of twitter bots to shame White people into being politically correct.

I mean, I wouldn’t put it past them.

On the other hand, it’s great news, because it means people care less and less about Black people’s feelings. Literally the only reason why these “subjects” are changing their behavior is because they think other White people disapprove.

You know what? I hope they go through with this “twitter bot” idea.

Once we reveal the scheme – which should take less than a day or two, with /pol/ on the case – White people will then assume that anyone whining about racism on the internet is some sort of PC-bot, and will promptly ignore it.
