"Cultural Appropriation"

[bennyboy]

You know what else is deeply ingrained in our species..genetically?  Smearing shit around with our hands.  Every baby does it.

Yep, and hormonal rage in puberty, and women crying at times that are annoying to men, and men raging at times that are annoying to everyone. We are a fucked up species, because we have minds capable of greatness, and genetic vestiges that keep us at chimp level.

My point in this thread is that those social instincts, being ingrained, keep popping up wherever there are ideas that move from thoughtful individuals to a group that uses those ideas as a social identity. In other words, we ARE predisposed toward bigotry, almost 100% of the time, when more than about 3 of us decide we are on the same page.
