I think the "samizdat papers" needs defining in the text in this context. 129.11.186.208 (talk) 23:31, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I think "samizdat" violates neutrality principles in this context.VaneWimsey (talk) 01:05, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Black and white thinking?
The saying "black and white thinking" has absolutely nothing to do with race. It refers to extreme polarity on the outside ends of a scale. ie. "You don't think in shades of grey, just in black and white" meaning that one takes an extreme view (as if on an hue scale ranging from black to white) instead of being in the middle (grey, where the two hues combine.). This has absolutely nothing to do with skin color, nor is it saying that one is inherently better than the other. It just shows that the "black and white thinker" sees everything as an all or nothing proposition, without realizing that there could be shades of grey involved. Since there is no citations that reference this saying as being based on race, I will be removing it if there are no further objections.

Seems to be original research: "Various ideas are put forward regularly in an attempt to mitigate unconscious bias"

Title?
Would "Micro-inequity Theory" be a better title. That seems to be what the article is about, not so much micro-inequities themselves. SnailsSpace (talk) 15:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

"Rudeness"
For centuries, people spoke of others as being "rude" or "thoughtless". What does the concept of "micro-inequity" contribute to a deeper understanding of these ideas? Pete unseth (talk) 14:03, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It seems like the expression "micro-inequity" is more focused on the effect on the listeners, more than on the character of the speaker or actor. I don't think any reasonable person would disagree that micro-inequities happen, whatever you want to call them. SnailsSpace (talk) 05:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
