petrushka.googol Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't know whether this post belongs to Politics (or Sociology) or whether it even belongs to this forum at all. I was just contemplating that suppose our default skin pigment was blue and there was a minority with green skin tone..... Would racism still exist in this society? After all our biases are essentially WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and seem to be associated with the reflex arc rather than serious introspection. Your thoughts...(provided the moderator doesn't find this post scandalous). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Since the majority Blues apparently see their skin color as "default" then yes, racism exists in that society. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
