Can you expand a little more on ânot the racistsâ? Why not both?
Iâm happy to concede that thinking some people should be excluded is an exclusionary belief. If this comes down to excluding one set of people or the other, I feel much better about excluding people based on their beliefs and actions than I do about excluding people based on their genetics or other immutable characteristics.
I agree, but I donât think anyone involved here has advocated for excluding people from Manifest or ~anything else based on âgenetics or other immutable characteristicsâ?
It just seems Orwellian to describe âperson A doesnât want to associate with person B because of person Bâs beliefsâ as âperson B has exclusionary beliefsâ. Person A may or may not be justified, but obviously they are the one being exclusionary.

Nobodyâs excluding people based on their genetics or immutable characteristics
I was assigned to female at birth and I happily go to conferences where there are people who have discussed the IQ differences between women and men.
People are deciding to not go to a place because somebody said something they disagreed about about their group.
That is people deciding not to attend an event based on beliefs, not genetics.
