different is natural
better than is racisim
being weary of other races and thinking different ARE natural, sure,
considering them lesser or better in value is not natural
What is "racisim" then?
thinking your race is better than another just because of race.
racism is that you judge someone based on their race
before even knowing them
racism is prejudice (Pre Judgement)
Race is a social construct. Ethnicity isn't
thinking your race is different isn't racist
How is it prejudice to judge a member of a group which you have experice with?
Is this like calling MS13 animals?
because you can't tell beforehand if an individual is good or bad
I'm not prejuding a group I don't know about.
I don't care about the outlier I care about the average.
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
technically there are human races
that's not a social construct
Yes I know there are outliers but as I said the average is what is important.
Alright, If you want to get all Wikipedia on me 😉 But really, Race (White, Black, Yellow, etc) was developed by an anthropologist
context is whats important
not the average
American blacks for example commit over 50% of violent crimes so should I treat them the same as a white or Asian person?
lol
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
and are open to change your treatment based on experience
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.
but this does prove the point though,
racism isn't natural, you judge them based on experience and evidence, not instinct
Which was a mutation which allowed them to survive malaria
Fuck no would you treat someone who is more likely to be criminal with someone who is less likely to be criminal?
Racism is entirely natural, it's an in/out group mechanic. But just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it's good.
Depends on the point of view and situation mostly
If yuo don't know they're a criminal, how could you tell?
just like the Inuit have developed genes which allow them to survive on 100% meat and fat diet.
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
I mean, cinnabar is an entirely natural mineral. As is asbestos.
In America, Everyone is a Criminal, The majority of the population just hasn't been caught yet.
I know from the statistics we know blacks commit over 50% of violent crime so why should they be treated the same?
Thats just "in the eyes of the government" windwalkr 😉
