0) We never agreed on the definition of "judgment biases", so please do not use the phrase "by definition". Your definition differs from mine.
- python_gt_r 8y agoA very high percent of any race dates only inside their racial/ethnic group. And so on. It's natural preferences. Some people call it racism, specially if it's pointing at white people. I call it your life your choice.

- deytempo 8y agoHow is it possible for anything to emerge from nature which is not natural? So far there is little evidence that anything humans do is above just a bunch of natural responses to external stimuli. However just because something is natural does not make it beneficial or desirable
- helen___keller 8y agoI don't know how this relates to my comment, sorry. I'm asking if the guy above me had seen evidence that substantiates his claim that there's a significant preference to people dating within their own race
- belorn 8y agoWhile I can not bring up the research paper from memory, there is such evidence but it more funnier than that. Going directly by vague recollection of the lecture, there is a bias towards X distances of relativeness, something like 3rd or 4th cousin, where you get a statistical bias in a population. You also get this in animal studies. If I recall correctly it was part of when they talked about gene selection theory, and also (very vaguely recalled) a short aside into game theory for maximized gene transmission with minimal risk for genetic errors. Technically this has nothing to do with racial and ethnic groups, but as an outcome it correlates. (Edit: Remembering an other detail. The human study was a olfaction test where participants felt more attracted to the sweat of said relativeness. It add to the (in my view) comical aspect of it all).
