different is natural

2018-06-25 22:23:16 UTC  

better than is racisim

2018-06-25 22:23:23 UTC  

being weary of other races and thinking different ARE natural, sure,

considering them lesser or better in value is not natural

2018-06-25 22:23:39 UTC  

What is "racisim" then?

2018-06-25 22:23:50 UTC  

thinking your race is better than another just because of race.

2018-06-25 22:24:05 UTC  

racism is that you judge someone based on their race

2018-06-25 22:24:09 UTC  

before even knowing them

2018-06-25 22:24:30 UTC  

racism is prejudice (Pre Judgement)

2018-06-25 22:24:35 UTC  

Race is a social construct. Ethnicity isn't

2018-06-25 22:25:10 UTC  

thinking your race is different isn't racist

2018-06-25 22:25:24 UTC  

How is it prejudice to judge a member of a group which you have experice with?

2018-06-25 22:25:48 UTC  

Is this like calling MS13 animals?

2018-06-25 22:25:52 UTC  

because you can't tell beforehand if an individual is good or bad

2018-06-25 22:26:02 UTC  

I'm not prejuding a group I don't know about.

2018-06-25 22:26:33 UTC  

I don't care about the outlier I care about the average.

2018-06-25 22:26:37 UTC  

If you know nothing else about this person, just their race,

You can't say if they're good or bad

Hence even if you have bad experience with them, you can not make the claim you know they'll be the same

2018-06-25 22:26:44 UTC  

technically there are human races

2018-06-25 22:26:53 UTC  

that's not a social construct

2018-06-25 22:27:28 UTC  

Yes I know there are outliers but as I said the average is what is important.

2018-06-25 22:27:56 UTC  

Alright, If you want to get all Wikipedia on me 😉 But really, Race (White, Black, Yellow, etc) was developed by an anthropologist

2018-06-25 22:28:15 UTC  

context is whats important
not the average

2018-06-25 22:28:44 UTC  

American blacks for example commit over 50% of violent crimes so should I treat them the same as a white or Asian person?

2018-06-25 22:28:54 UTC  

lol

2018-06-25 22:29:19 UTC  

yes, you should TREAT them the same initially,

That said, due to statistics, you are absolutely in your right to be a bit skeptical about them

2018-06-25 22:29:32 UTC  

and are open to change your treatment based on experience

2018-06-25 22:29:48 UTC  

There are distinct physiclogical and medical differences between many, many ethnic groups. Sub-saharan africans are more likely to develop sickle-cell disease, for example.

2018-06-25 22:30:03 UTC  

but this does prove the point though,

racism isn't natural, you judge them based on experience and evidence, not instinct

2018-06-25 22:30:26 UTC  

Which was a mutation which allowed them to survive malaria

2018-06-25 22:30:34 UTC  

Fuck no would you treat someone who is more likely to be criminal with someone who is less likely to be criminal?

2018-06-25 22:30:35 UTC  

Racism is entirely natural, it's an in/out group mechanic. But just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it's good.

2018-06-25 22:30:49 UTC  

Depends on the point of view and situation mostly

2018-06-25 22:30:50 UTC  

If yuo don't know they're a criminal, how could you tell?

2018-06-25 22:30:51 UTC  

just like the Inuit have developed genes which allow them to survive on 100% meat and fat diet.

2018-06-25 22:31:28 UTC  

for all you know, we have rapists in this very channel, but you don't know, so you treat them as innocent until proven guilty

2018-06-25 22:31:31 UTC  

I mean, cinnabar is an entirely natural mineral. As is asbestos.

2018-06-25 22:31:35 UTC  

In America, Everyone is a Criminal, The majority of the population just hasn't been caught yet.

2018-06-25 22:31:43 UTC  

I know from the statistics we know blacks commit over 50% of violent crime so why should they be treated the same?

2018-06-25 22:31:49 UTC  

Thats just "in the eyes of the government" windwalkr 😉

2018-06-25 22:31:55 UTC  

True
