Question, what's up with the imagery you use in all of your posts?
What is the effect that makes those colors?
Also in regards to your wider post:
Legal framing is not something you "force" people into around you. If something is legal or illegal that is a matter of the jurisdiction you are under, and it doesn't matter if someone believes in it or not. People may find laws moral or immoral.
Religion and language are cultural structures, and they greatly affect how people think. These are like operating systems.
I don't think most people care about other people having or not having kids, but birth-rates have become a focus in nations where a lot of immigration is happening.
Some governments claim immigration is good because it supplements decline in birth rates of the native population.
These things are all linked because they are major lynch-pins of a nation.
Regarding racism. It's often used to shut-down people who are critical of immigration or regarding demographics.
One does not have to be racist to be against immigration.
If you've lived somewhere, and seen demographics in that place change and the conditions of that place change with those demographics in a negative way; this is usually the reason for being against continuing this trend.
Institutions, media, and even the governments themselves promote multiculturalism.
In Western nations people were generally positive about it, but as time has gone on people notice changing conditions and even crime.
They can even look to other nations and see the same things happening.
They were called racist and they were banned off of platforms, losing jobs, etc.
But over time people who disregarded and ridiculed the people for bringing this up have perhaps reconsidered as they too paid more attention.
In-group preference is not the same as racism.
In-group preference is generally lowest among the well-educated, and wealthy.
There is a barrier of entry to that social rung that often means they assume everyone is all the same.
It is in middle and lower classes where the clashes happen.
And the most pronounced in-group preference, and hostility towards the out-group is found in prisons.
Stereotypes do not apply to individuals.
In many nations or sometimes counties/cities Pitbull dogs are banned.
Many people own Pibulls who have never attacked anyone, but there are enough attacks that a trend is borne-out in data resulting in the banning of the breed.
Is this racism towards the breed, or bad stereotyping?
Policy is inherently agnostic to the individual.
I change the image to a negative image and then change it again to some other version of a negative like image a few times til I get a combination that is interesting to me.
I am talking more about how people bring their own opinions into the conversation without considering how others may not feel the same than anything. I’ve had many people state opinions that I just don’t agree with as if they were fact, and it tires me out.
I don’t think you’ve done that here, it kind of feels like you’ve only presented facts 😆
Stereotypes should not apply to individuals but I believe people bring their stereotypes into individuals interactions unfairly quite often.
Though I am not considered wealthy anywhere I’ve lived )the average person in my city has more than me), I guess you could say I’m “well educated” although I value my self education much more than the formal one I received, and perhaps that is why I feel I am more accepting of different kinds of people than many people I meet. I like to explore, not only locations but experiences and hobbies and new habits and ways of thinking, and I like to challenge myself, and if there is one thing I wish I could encourage others to do, it’s this.
But I can’t force them obviously, so all I can do is keep looking for ways to express how much I have gained, though much of it is intangible and hard to express to people because they are used to words being thrown about lightly and don’t always feel the weight of what is said.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by
