Friday Links

High-status boys bully low-status boys; low-status boys bully high-status girls.  An interesting example of this from observing games of HALO.  Also of interest: none of the females spoke during any of the games.

Support for violence to prevent "harmful" speech  Witness the change over the age groups.  The lowest support comes from the oldest and next-oldest liberals.  The highest support comes from the youngest and next-youngest liberals, and even the younger moderates are higher than the others. Whether the generations are different or people change as they age is not measured.


 Gypsies and Jews by Cremieux.  The effects of stereotypes long term. In terms of gypsies passing as other ethnicities in Europe, my Romanian sons had a brother and sister that they were separated from and did not come to America.  They reestablished contact after they got here. They tried to help the sister who did not work and had a boyfriend, then husband who was not honest.  Not only did they not pick up that he was Roma, she did not pick it up until they had been married a few years and she went to a village wedding of his family. 

Also Cremieux The Making of an Elite: Japanese Christians. I had never heard even rumors of this.

Canada's top First Nations writer, Thomas King, reveals he isn't Cherokee after all.
