I think the important bit is getting lost in the shuffle over particulars: This research and the conclusion it presents are not original to three Western men from a first-world university. They’ve been discussed and explored at length by the academies of the post-colonial states who are dealing with the aftereffects of their own colonial experiences. This is a Eurocentric/Western-centric move on the part of, frankly, a bunch of privileged and insulated people.
You’re the one telling me all about who he is and his background based on his name.
That is not an explanation of how I am judging him or how I am a racist.
And I did tell you that Turkey is not a Western country by asking you to tell me what person of any person of any real importance considers it so. Because it isn’t a Western country and no person of any real importance considers it so.
You have already violated our civility rule by calling me a racist. I’m beginning to think you’re just a troll… unless, of course, you explain how I was racist and judging him.
“Maybe you didn’t mean it this way” is neither an explanation for how I judged him nor how I am a racist.
You have one more chance before you take a break for trolling a moderator. I was willing to overlook you calling me a racist at first, but you’ve decided to keep doubling down.

Does “Daron Acemoğlu” sound like a Western name to you?

Excuse me?
How am I judging him?
And do tell me what person of any real importance considers Turkey to be a Western country.
