Everything About race
There's a good chance you’re prejudice, at least culturally ignorant, maybe even a little racist — and so am I. We're the product of millions of years of in-group biases, automatic thought processes, and an intellect that's led to endless moral ambiguity and challenges. You’re prewired to prefer people who look like you (in-group bias), automatically associate things/people to stereotypes (automatic thought processes), and subconsciously internalize beliefs after repeated exposure.
So yes, we’re prejudice, but it doesn’t make us evil. We aren't perfect, but the key is to be aware of these biases so we can prevent them from controlling how we treat others. From race, to politics, to religion, and everything in between, only then will we be able to truly make America the “melting pot” we claim it is.
