Should the beliefs of historically oppressed persons get special consideration when deciding between true and false?

Boghossian Substack | Peter Boghossian

As part of his Reverse College Tour, Peter Boghossian visited Purdue University and presented the following claim to students: “When deciding between what’s true or false, the belief of persons in historically oppressed groups should get special consideration.” From here, “the conversation delved into how people interpret what is true or false, and if there are different types of truth (scientific facts vs. historical experience).” As Boghossian notes, “This question rests at the heart of many current political and social disputes.”
