I have autism, resulting in social anxiety, so I'm an observant. I notice everything and nothing really gets noticed earlier than the other. So I clicked the bottom option.

what exactly is the purpose of this thread. also why put a trigger warning on something if it's unclear before or even after reading what you are warning people about?
People are biased towards race/gender. It is hardwired into us as an evolutionary protection mechanism for intermingling with people of other races/genders to protect us from outside bacteria/diseases/illness because one race has built up different immunities than others.

do you have a source on this? this seems highly dubious.

I can find one if you want?
This is the kind of stuff that comes from evolutionary biologists fwiw.

Evolution prevents us from intermingling with other genders? I feel like you don't understand how evolution works...
I didn't say that.
You could say we are cautiously optimistic towards other races. This goes across the board IMO. I mean, is extreme inequality/segregation a good thing? Absolutely not! But that's not what I am claiming. All I am claiming is that people have a preference for their kin, essentially.

I get that there could be some kind of attempt at an argument about race (I am NOT saying the argument is valid, I'm just saying I could believe that someone could attempt to make one and I'm too lazy to evaluate the argument), but you said that the same applies to gender. Evolution only happens when people of different genders "intermingle".* Evolution is very strongly biased in favor of intermingling with other genders.
*Or well technically there are some people who are exceptions but there aren't enough of them to continue the human race at its current population.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?
