Prejudice where there is no prejudice

Reduction in Racism Leads People to See More Racism (from Livestream #52)

Makes a ton of sense. It has already been established that happiness isn't dependent on how you're doing but how you're doing compared to your neighbors, so to me this seems to be a part of that same psychology.

.....or despite some reduction is racism people still see it more because they are more sensitised. Unless, of course, we have a far right wing agenda.

We got smarter on racism or prejudice that's why we see it more. This does not take away the fact that some shit people like to portray as racism really isn't.

 

Also in other senses we got dumber......

So you can see more racism because you are dumb. I buy that.

You really need to work on your wit and the efficiency of your insults.

Maybe you try including engaging in sexual intercourse with my mum or my dad, depending of your sexual orientation, but you probably never tried neither so you wouldn't really know (and no your "lesser" hand does not count even if you call "her" Mary and she's as tight as a virgin).

Your penchant for vulgarity is the sign of a simple and shallow mind. I was just following your logic.

This is what you do when you have nothing. 

 

You just admitted that the greatest generation was more intelligent than you are. I don't even agree with that.

that's a hypothesis, but no what they found was not that. people would not become more sensitive and start seeing the thing in places they hadn't previously, but instead would redefine what the thing even was.

Maybe due to more knowledge and increased sensitivithy they would "redefine what the thing even was."

 

It is like educating kids or animals, years back we understood beating them was the way to go, now we know better.....
