@89a8406c I don't understand what you mean? @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado
@b17a3b4f @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado e.g. White people of Baltimore and Detroit are going to be more racist than White people living in Rhode Island or Vermont. This is not due to isolation, but from "exposure to different ideas or points of view or experiences" explicitly.
@89a8406c Rhode Island and Vermont are more affluent with less criminality; Doesn't much have anything to do with race. The homeless and drug-addicted petty criminals I've run across in the PNW were all white. If you're only exposure is to a tiny microcosm then your biased will be limited to that vacuum. The solution isn't greater limitations of exposure, but more exposure to a larger sample. @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado
@b17a3b4f @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado I strongly disagree with a few of the assertions here, one must be willfully blind to believe such things.
@89a8406c That's okay. You're welcome to disagree. @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado
@b17a3b4f @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado That's true, but here I am not the one leaning on a priori assertions, and the onus for such things isn't on me.
@89a8406c Alright. 🤷♂️ @Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado
