DS, that last comment is simply high comedy. The bumper sticker does not have a neutral point of view. The bumper sticker accuses a stranger of prejudice without any specific knowledge whatsoever. You call that neutral because in your world view, everyone is prejudiced. It’s neutral because you agree with it. Just like democratic partisan initiatives are routinely “bipartisan”.
You also characterized the sticker as “asking someone to think about their prejudices”. False. The bumper sticker was not a question. It was a statement, and an imperative one at that. Ordinarily I’d give your characterization a pass (in the way that you rarely if ever extent to anyone else and certainly not Cramer on your most recent comment) because I understand what your point. However, the entire crux of the matter is that the bumper sticker was deliberately not a question. It was an accusation from a liberal to a faceless stranger that they are not prejudiced the way the faceless stranger is. Judgment rarely gets more explicit than that.
Her accusation is not specific, but liberal accusations rarely rise to the level of being specific. To deploy a specific charge is to be open to have it rebutted. To deploy a generalized charge that can never be substantiated or disproved, on the other hand, is the hallmark of the young liberal thinker.
