Yeah. That would be great if we could stop doing that. Sadly human brain doesn't seem to work that way.


Demographic discrimination may be instinctive, but we are neither wild animals nor pre-programmed automatons incapable of using rationality and reason to modify our behavior to treat others with more kindness than our instincts would guide us to.

I can't tell you how to live your life, but life is better for all us when we avoid demographic-level collective blame, which leads to demographic-level persecution, something I'd hope nobody here wants.
