it results in harmful discrimination and reduced social cohesion

there's no real justification for racism, it's just human in-group/out-group instincts applied to groups that haven't really been shown to be inherently different in any meaningful way


it's literally a survival instinct shared across all sentient lifeforms

thats the most ludicrous justification for racism Ive ever seen

its not normal and its most definitely NOT shared across all sentient life forms. human children are not born racist, theyre taught by their parents and/or their environment

are mice racist against cats?

edit: you are correct that they are taught by their environment. Can you describe environmental scenarios that would teach them?

just as a baby mouse doesn't fear cats when they are born, they learn pretty quickly!

this matters not, the analogy holds regardless: people naturally observe predatory behaviour, correlate their observations of the predator, and apply that observation towards avoiding predators.

We can say the same about OP. Cant call him smart because he doesnt exist as such a concept in the minds of others.

your analogy is entirely useless, I'd suggest maybe trying to learn about what racism actually means before you ask idiotic questions
