i think that is the case, a natural tendency to associate and feel more empathetic to your own group that looks like you, and suspicion and fear of those who don't

Yeah this
Plus if you see chimpanzees that are our more similar animals the genocide other monkey races with no reason

It can not be said about humans as it's way too simplified.
It's not done via iconographic logic by dividing into pairs or groups or something..

It's not about what you recognize or anything like that either.. we are meant to empathise with everything we understand and so it's more the other way around where we 'program' a few things during life that we decide to take out of the instinct bowl who then doesn't get our immediate empathy.

Being afraid of stuff is 'losing' in an evolutionairy sence.

People aren't born knowing their skin colours. Babies with one skin colour don't refuse to feed from women of another skin colour. How is this behaviour natural? I'm aware how common it is to exhibit racist behaviour, but saying it's natural is saying it is unnatural not to be racist, which is pretty racist, imo.

I don't think it necessarily means that you're born racist, just that given the choice you'll prefer people more similar to you. The same concept applies when choosing friends, you'd rather hang with someone with similar interests to you or even similar in appearance. Babies are more primitive in terms of cognition so will Base this off of external factors rather than which baby likes which song or whatever. What I'm saying refers more to gender though but race may or may not be a factor but we'll never really know because obviously you can't ask a baby

[jrkhnds]

it's all conditionalised, like jess said. my (black) cousin lived in france for the first two years and rarely ever saw a black person other than his mother. he's suspicious of black people, and when they moved back to cameroun, he had a bit of a hard time... whatever you're getting used to you'll consider to be the norm, and act accordingly.

sorry dear waffle
there's no truth to it at all. what you and diego is talking about is something else.

we do have an inherent ability to superficially notice if we have certain traits in common with strangers and even genes.
like girls reacting to a specific combination of things that at the same time causes a specific smell (dad). but it has very little to do with socializing.
even conditioning isn't that strict and is reversed or turned around continually.
we dont just react to primal instincts like that... and that is what being a 'human' is about. and fortunately so innit

[hubb]

having said that

ofcourse there's people that socialize like animals

for example bros

but you dont invite them inside the house

[Harkat]

I have an easier time sympathizing with other people who radiate trillness such as myself

can't sympathize with haters, its biologically hardcoded into me

Can cringing cause heart failure? Cause I just got this stabbing pain in my chest.

That's basically what I'm saying though (minus the social bit, I didn't include that)

Sam Smith has a good voice but his overwrought emotion is just tiresome. No depth or subtlety.

Regarding Sam Smith, he has a nice voice but his solo work is just so boring
