Racism is complex. Sexism is complex. Throwing attitude and piety at them, I’m afraid, is simply not enough. Moreover, racism and sexism are simply subsets of what is the larger problem: our all too human tendency to think we and those who superficially resemble us are better than others.
In a word, our native sense of moral superiority.

Rasisms un seksisms ir ksenofobijas "apakškopas", un ksenofobija, to the best of our ability to tell, ir evolucionāras atliekas no bara instinkta un to pavadošās "mēs pret viņiem" attieksmes. Sava veida kognitīvais ekvivalents aklās zarnas piedēklim - jēgas no tā vairs nav un vienīgais, ko tas dara, ir regulāri iekaist, indējot pārējo organismu. :|
