A sign hung in Port Coquitlam advertising a “whites-only” moms and tots group is causing outrage online after photos of a poster were shared on social media.

    Occam’s Razor, hmm… “Lots of white people are still racist” vs "[5000 word essay on …]

        I listen to bullshit all day, I’m not trying to engage some internet whacko in good spirited debate. I’m taking public amusement at the irony of you invoking Occams Razor while relying on an explanation that requires that much detail

          You… realize that the explanation was pointing out explicitly the unlikely scenario required all that detail… right?

          Ergo, that scenario was the one that got Occam’s Razor’d? The one that took all that explaining to do?

          because it requires so much work to explain and try to turn into something plausible?

          You… you get that right?
