[Meta] Bad social science and undergrads (self.BadSocialScience)

SnugglerificThe archaeology of ignorance が 投稿

So I might have to teach undergradlings next year (anthropology). What are the most common misconceptions/bad social science that students bring into the intro courses? I'm really afraid of the unit on race.

In my experience (Sociology), assumptions. And it seems that, unlike many subjects, the students will hold hard and fast to "common sense" ideas. Racialism and Sexism are always the ones where I get the most push-back from students who have believe in things like HBD and the like. I wonder if these students argue with their other teachers on pretty basic concepts as well.

The biological basis of race and sex are big ones. Bootstrap mentalities about minorities are also big (they just don't try as hard as everyone else, my parents/grandparents, etc). They also fetishize indigenous people.
