Learning anything about 20th century United States

Not that other countries don't have racism, but American sheer dedication to it is impressive
Racism only exists because of the lower half of the intelligence bell curve. Humanity is so disappointing.
I've seen some quite intelligent people being racist.
Imo the underlying cause of it is what in machine learning is known as Overfitting - pattern recognition amped up to the level it becomes incorrect
That sounds more like where stereotypes come from.
Sure, racism is a form of stereotype, but amped up to 11.
Only morons allow such stupid thinking to hit 11.
and yes, some "smart" people are absolute morons. "book smart" is a saying for a reason.
Racism isnt a matter of intelligence, but of social programming. It's In-group versus out-group dynamics and often has little to do with race. Very intelligent people get caught in the trap though less intelligent people get caught easier. You see this in church scandals all the time. People say they would mob justice a pedophile but when it turns out it was the pastor at their big mega church who very tearfully asked god for forgiveness, suddenly it's not so bad. Because he's our pastor, not like those sick Catholics, ammiright?
