Get the the Knabenbauer effect mug.When protections for protected classes, including historically discriminated communities, are afforded to historically privileged groups. For instance, Blacks are prosecuted more often for hate crimes than are Whites, when Blacks were intended to be protected against hate crimes. Background: New York Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan introduced a bill that identifies county police as a protected class. Such a bill will have the effect of prosecuting those demanding reforms and changes in a historically biased police force.

Get the Delphine Effect mug.The Downing-Kruger effect is like the Dunning-Kruger effect, but specifically exhibited by people with Down Syndrome. It may be more apparent than usual due to the “stubborn” personality type commonly associated with DS.
My roommate kept nagging me a lot by saying I needed to take NyQuil, even though I actually had pinkeye and it wouldn’t have helped any. I know he thinks he’s caring for me, but he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. It’s not his fault though; he has Down Syndrome, so this is just the Downing-Kruger effect in action.
