Happy MLK jr Day!
Less than 50 years ago, it was legal to discriminate against all minorities. And some of my older Jewish Americans friends can give awful examples. They still don't feel save in the US. You might think it's irrational, but discrimination scars. Minorities are forced to form tight communities.
The majority tribe also looks out for its own. Something like 70+% of white people don't have nonwhite friends. We are wired to seek our own, so exclusion is the default human behavior. I have a dream that one day we will overcome this silly little thing called tribalism. :)
- hackuser 11y agoIt's sad that I'm seeing so many innocuous statements, especially those that simply say discrimination exists, modded down.
- kelukelugames 11y agoI am stating provable facts. shrug 1) today is mlk day 2) discrimination was terrible one generation ago 3) most people have narrow social circles.
