I’ve finished re-reading @joealey’s pre-print looking at how face perception researchers inadvertently reify race through their research practices:

It’s made me think about how survey research can also engage in racecraft and how we can ask questions to tap into racialization processes rather than just using a demographic variable

I want to write an entire essay about the assumptions that this question makes about my ability to accurately infer someone else's self-awareness, but I don't think it would help.
