An Exercise in Assessment
What can you glean from face value?
The point of this short consideration is not to answer the material it considers, at least not to the point of refutation.
The goal of this assessment is to 1) establish why I don’t find it convincing 2) point out some directions the argument would need to go to become convincing and 3) demonstrate analysis of evidence’s probative value (a.k.a. weighing its proper effect) without referencing outside sources, using only general knowledge.
The article in question is (https://ethnicamerican.org/what-does-1-year-and-9-months-mean-to-an-ethnic-american/). Fair warning, this is literally the only webpage on the website that I’ve opened, so I’ve no idea what is on the rest of it (except that it probably nudges in a discreditable direction. I’m not a fan of mere ethnonationalism, particularly as applied to America).
