The logic in the beginning (re: cultural appropriation) was sufficiently flawed that I stopped reading partway through. I did like his point about the implication of bell curves, though.

Yeah, that was mostly the point.

An interesting read, although for all the arguments and explanations, there a few places where they just go (This group of people is all bad, by the way) without explaining or defending the point.

Yes, that felt pretty jarring with the tone they were trying to set.

Is this intended to be a commentary on /r/rational getting its 4000th subscriber?

Otherwise, I don't really see the connection. You might want to post this to a sub like /r/slatestarcodex instead.

u/traverseda [+3] With dread but cautious optimism (36 minutes later)

It is indeed.
