    Yeah, as a research psychologist, I always cringe so hard hearing things like this. There isn’t something special about how white people from regions we lable as “the west” express bigotry. Literally, ever human is capable of creating ingroup outgroup differentiations as illustrated from social identity theory and those can be strongly or weakly oriented towars dominance (i.e. social dominance orientation). I’ve never seen meta analytic evidence showing any subset of the human population to be significantly more prone to social dominance. The thing that makes it so brown people are viewed negatively by “westerners” is the long history of racism pushed by the ruling class to justify atrocities for profit.

    Don’t be campist people, work in solidarity with each other and support your fellow man.

        Please then provide a theoretical model backed by meta analytic evidence to show that this group somehow has a fundamentally different cognitive process for interacting with other groups then, I’ll wait

          You want me to prove that westerners are racist? LMFAO 🤣

          No. Just admit you fell for the propaganda and this meme made you feel dumb.

            You should really go outside or read something that isn’t political theory or econ as you really don’t have much of an understanding of how your fellow man actually functions. Insulting people who are trying to provide you with different perspectives on how you see an issue is not going to improve yourself or the working class movement. Lead with empathy, I wish you the best.

              Highlighting the bigotry of Europeans IS leading with empathy 🤣

              Muslims are PEOPLE…

              What the fuck kind of logic are you trying to employ here?

                I have no idea got any of that from my comment, but when you want someone to be your enemy you’ll surely find one
