no, according to you its the comparatively "strong" thing to do

Yes, as I just explained. You can't protect yourself from something that you can't notice.

protect myself from a whinging little shit kid classmate?

oh perish the thought

For example

The conclusion may be different. Maybe you respond only to that one bully, but maybe you also look for patterns.

My brain looked for obvious patterns, for example in the case of my dad.

wasn't even a bully, he just wouldn't shut the fuck up and leave me alone

Well alright

That's not the biggest deal then

Oregon schools didn't really have bullies, they had ratty little provacative shits who just drew you out into faculty's line of sight so suddenly you're the bad guy

Would anyone here avoid a 20-man sized group toting ISIS flags?

100%

Alright.

Thanks.

Wouldn't even think twice

I'd pick up my AR and start shooting.

depends if I was armed

Exactly.

It's an extreme example, but that's based on what you know of them.

So, that's a form of discrimination, is it not?

ISIS is an ideology. anyone could be under that flag.

plausibly

brood's whinging about race and shit

Fair enough, but we all know who it is most strongly associated with, the pattern so to speak.

except the argument against similar race baiters on the left is that Islam isn't a race

I'm not whinging about race you fool

sound pretty fuckin whingey

And, you are still basing your decision upon material observations, however.

I specifically mentioned that my experiences with race were unimportant, I said non-immigrant kids were about the same

However, there are differences when immigration is not controlled properly

As was the case with Turks in Vienna

so then why the fuck should my experiences suddenly merit attention to the race of my opponents?

if race was so fucking unimportant in your case why the fuck does it have to be important in mine?

are you drunk?!

The less mature the brain is, the more important it is that we pick up on obvious objective features and other information like behavioral patterns etc.

Kids need to protect themselves by picking up on outward features, so they like or dislike, trust or distrust people due to simple things

Because, if it is a behavior that is normalized and reinforced as a value among the group, race inextricably becomes the way to resolve the problem, as it is then a social cancer to the group that can only be addressed by socializing them with peers and propaganda rejecting the behaviors. You'd have to use people from their own group to do it.

so I need to distrust black people because one was an obnoxious cunt in grade school?!

In some cases this will result in them seeing race as a problem, and we can only correct that if we expose them to the broader group
