TRIBALISM

in Proof of Brain3 years ago (edited)

"RACISM" IS NO MORE "EVIL" THAN ANY OTHER LOGICAL FALLACY.

The present study examined if empathy and perceived similarity relate to empathic behaviors online. The study featured three real online influencers, one of whom was white, one Asian, and one Black. In a sample of 115 participants, I found that empathy significantly, negatively correlated with aggression for the two non-white influencers featured in our study. For the one white influencer, the more similar viewers felt toward her, the less aggression they felt toward her behaviors. Controlling for ethnicity of participants, participants indicated significantly higher levels of perceived similarity toward the white influencer, followed by the Asian influencer, and the Black influencer.

While it is not "impossible" for any particular human to feel empathy for any other particular human, THE OVERWHELMING TENDENCY is for humans to feel MORE empathy for humans who are perceived to be "more similar".

For example,

Human ethnocentrism—the tendency to view one's group as centrally important and superior to other groups—creates intergroup bias that fuels prejudice, xenophobia, and intergroup violence. Grounded in the idea that ethnocentrism also facilitates within-group trust, cooperation, and coordination, we conjecture that ethnocentrism may be modulated by brain oxytocin, a peptide shown to promote cooperation among in-group members. In double-blind, placebo-controlled designs, males self-administered oxytocin or placebo and privately performed computer-guided tasks to gauge different manifestations of ethnocentric in-group favoritism as well as out-group derogation. Experiments 1 and 2 used the Implicit Association Test to assess in-group favoritism and out-group derogation. Experiment 3 used the infrahumanization task to assess the extent to which humans ascribe secondary, uniquely human emotions to their in-group and to an out-group. Experiments 4 and 5 confronted participants with the option to save the life of a larger collective by sacrificing one individual, nominated as in-group or as out-group. Results show that oxytocin creates intergroup bias because oxytocin motivates in-group favoritism and, to a lesser extent, out-group derogation. These findings call into question the view of oxytocin as an indiscriminate “love drug” or “cuddle chemical” and suggest that oxytocin has a role in the emergence of intergroup conflict and violence.

True, humans are filled with a lot of biases and emotionally driven behaviours, racism is just one of them. Importantly, greater attention is being paid to racism because left to thrive it can be very destructive unlike a couple other logical fallacies; but at the same time the real enemy is Logical fallacy, get rid of it and we'd be rid of a greater percentage of civilization's problems. Also, approaching it as a logical fallacy shows the racist that he's an irrational cunt and should be worried about that.

Racism should be eradicated fully.we are one people irrespective of our color.
When a football match is going on and a man with dark complexion in support the same club a white skinned man is supporting, when the team scores, both of them jubilates, hug and shout for joy together. Why then do we go back home and start the discrimination again. This is unfair to humanity. Let's kick it out

I agree with you that "hate" and "otherism" is toxic.

I'm just not sure that "racism" is any more "evil" than hating and or discriminating against someone for their religion (and or non-religion) and or hating people because they believe the earth is flat and or because they don't want to be forced to accept a "vaccine".

Why is it ok to make fun of people for one thing and NOT ok to make fun of them for some other thing??

Whoa. This is expertly written and insanely relevant to today's social climate.

The transition from a socialistic society where the worker is under the spell that they influence the government to now the worker is irrelevant and essentially the enemy if they cant code, teach yoga or just regress into a mindless morally deprived button or box pusher just to keep accumulating debt.

Either way im steering away from what I wanted to point out. This post explains what happens to different colored chickens in a chicken coop. 😄

thank you very much for sharing a great post, have a nice day
