Zhao says having data on how people who did get the money actually spent it is something she thinks will help counteract stereotypes, increase empathy and potentially get skeptics and the public on board with the idea of providing cash transfers.

Now that the study is complete, the plan is to replicate it and expand it to other cities in Canada and the U.S.

It won't significantly affect as the stereotype is for justification of cruelty and not because of logical error.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily. I think most people actually don't know these things.

And you think folks even know stereotypes they don't care about? The stereotype only exists as a thing in the minds of People that want them to be true.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah sure. I know plenty of stereotypes that I don't have an incentive to be true.

Those are sterotypes you care about. I said nothing about incentive to be true. Perhaps keep your words in your own mouth rather than claiming they are in another's? The ones wanting it to be true are the ones you learned them from and only because you cared.

Wtf are you talking about? No they aren't, yes you did, and how about you learn to communicate properly instead of getting mad when people interpret your unreadable word salad the wrong way?

Tell yourself whatever lies you need to feel better. Focus upon your own emotions rather than project them on others.

You're delusional and I'm going to stop talking to you, bye
