One Of The Greatest Pleasures I Get

Here's An Easy One: "race Is An Entirely Social Construct." No, It's Partially One, Depending On How Any Given Society Seeks To Define It And Its Implications. But There Are Basic Things Such As Skin Color And Hair Texture. Even A Martian Who'd Had No Exposure To Human "social Constructs" Would Be Able To Spot Those Differences. But No Martian, As Hard As He Tried, Could Point At A "culture" Or To "equality." Those Are The Social Constructs. Those Can't Be Measured In The Same Way As Human Dna.

More Than Most, I Believe I'm Highly Attuned To How Heresies Eventually Become Mainstream Belief Systems And How The Vast Majority Of People Who Consider Themselves 'edgy' Are Those Who Only Embraced Radical Ideas Long After It Became Safe For Them To Do So.

It Was Simultaneously Refreshing And A Bit Shocking To See How Cavalierly Most Aussies Toss Out Slurs And Insults About Nonwhites.

In A Perverse Way, It's Very Patriarchal To Think That Women Can't Be Malicious Or Violent.

Many Of The Racial Problems In America Are Caused By The Fact That People Are Innately Tribal, And Politicians Know How To Exploit That Biological Fact.
