Racism is Genetic

Genetics 101

It's an uncomfortable truth but scientists say most people have an ingrained racial bias.

Racism is an issue that still pervades many societies.

Black people are  twenty-eight times more likely than white to be stopped and searched by the police

in 2009/10 black people were over three times more likely than white to be arrested,

black and those of mixed ethnicity are over twice as likely as whites to be unemployed

three quarters of 7-year-old Pakistani and Bangladeshi children are living in poverty

compared to one in four whites,

‘Other Black’ are six times more likely than average to be admitted as mental health inpatients.

Who wouldda think , eh ?  :-\

"We are surrounded by things that cause us to develop associations that produce stereotypes .

It's like the air we breathe”

Prof Anthony Greenwald

University of Washington in Seattle, US

Yet as a society we are in denial about racism.  :-[

Indian leaders are the worsttttttttttttt, my cousins came back from india and they say everything falls apart, slums pon slums due to poor leadership...shit everywhere.  ::

But that is a Caste system of same ethnicity...

Wealth vs. Poverty !

hhhhmmmmm... :-\

"When we think of something as implicit racial bias :

you think that it's already ingrained and there's nothing you can do, 

but in reality these studies show that by simply having people relate to someone with a different ethnicity -

you can already change that. New associations will be built.

It's a stepping stone, for sure."
