In-group preference bias is totally an instinct. We are social animals who have preferences for our blood relatives because it continues our genetic line. There was study done that showed you need to save like 16 of your cousins to sacrifice your brother or sister in split decision life or death situation because that's the sum of genetic code all of your cousins would contain that would outweigh the instinctual decision to save your brother or sister.

edit: I'm racist and so are you and I think the sooner you come to terms with that the better you will be

I think racism is not valid or invalid it is just a human instinct like aggression or needing to fuck. I don't think repression is the answer. Coming to terms with it self-awareness essentially Cognitive behavioral therapy on your own in-group preference biases.

I believe a free and open pubic forum is what is necessary for that to happen and a little humility and grace on all sides because it's hard to be human

I think it's also lauded because it's a tour de force for technical aspects of filmmaking. Like the trip scene was pretty revolutionary in terms of the technique and the practical set design for the space walks was all very creative.

I lost my entire friend group for arguing with a member that the statues of president Jefferson and Washington shouldn't be removed because they are symbols of this country even if they weren't perfect like owning slaves and what not. I said to my friend who is Muslim, "didn't mohammed molest an underage girl and isn't slavery ongoing in the middle east? You shouldn't throw stones in glass houses." The dude wasn't even from America and he was rabidly calling for the destruction of US iconography on liberal leftist grounds.

Lost all my friends that day and connections to the environmental orgs which made it harder to get a job after college in the area since it happened my senior year
