potoooooooo ✅️Are blind people less racist, on average?
Q'zThey will certainly have a harder time judging people by their skin color.
However many racist people aren’t actually confronted with “foreigners” a lot. So I guess blind people can perfectly be racist about someone’s accent or form racist opinions just by the discourse around them and the news they consume.
Babies aren’t born racist, it’s something you learn. So my guess is blind people are pretty close to the average, maybe a little less.
Lemming6969You should read more studies on babies. They absolutely do have innate bias. Your post screams “I’m just guessing”
The post doesn’t scream “I’m guessing”, it says it.
Can you point me to a study showing babies are racist then?
Go read ncbi, it’s a trivial search… Babies as young as 3 months prefer own race, and children as young as 2-3 exhibit doll preference and attribute more good attributes to white dolls.
Racism and sameness grouping starts very very early and is not entirely socially learned… Its basis is innate and instinctual.
Wait, even if the baby is raised by a diverse set of people? Or they just prefer what they are exposed to regularly?
I can easily imagine tribalism being easy to fall into - little kids love sorting things into categories - but can’t really see any biological benefits at all to racism, can’t imagine why it would be innate?
Humans have a complex history of great community, but also we kill other humans… A lot. Others are dangerous by default.
