Some have encouraged black colleagues to keep a running log of racist encounters (time-stamped and listing others present), making it more difficult to dismiss events as isolated. See also: A.

The strawman fallacy can take shape as a misconstruing or deliberate mis-assignment of beliefs to a person, and rebutting those beliefs in a misleading defeat of the original position. Raising such tangential or non-sequitur counterarguments can be interpreted as devious means of distracting from the original point — further distancing one from meaningful discourse.
