It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I wish my life was so good that I could spare the energy to pick the dumbest, pettiest bullshit like this to be upset about.

I'm fairly certain the lifes of people losing their shit about this are super fucking miserable and they mostly go pronounjak-rage over a print on a seasonal paper cup so they do not have to confront their actual problems.

Here’s footage of the research by the way https://youtu.be/Vlk45K0wgfU

There was also a research article that found white people generally distrust all minorities while trusting Asian men the most, but only if the Asian men are fat.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

That's interesting. What's that from? I feel like I'd heard that it didn't take much to develop empathy and overcome racist attitudes just by basically exposing people to the groups they fear more often in everyday life l, though I have no source on that. I wonder if physiological responses like those can be changed in the right conditions or if it'll always be that way.

Some people I know have by now spent about 30 years living in the same neighbourhoods as Muslim, African etc immigrants, they see them everywhere all the time and they're certainly not getting any less racist

Maybe it makes sense in America where a lot of white people live on like a corn field in the middle of nowhere or something, but Europeans are massively racist and keep voting for more and more fascist politicians and they live side by side with immigrants in major cities
