So historically inaccurate characterizations give rise to racism, except it doesn't because the racism was already there? I still don't understand.

- pyrale 4y agoI would say that the original claim is that they feed each other.
- bavell 4y agoI agree with that claim. However I think there are much more prominent feedback loops at play such as socio-economic status. Historical mischaracterizations play a negligible role IMO when compared with other factors.
