Sounds like a pretty shitty country. I prefer living in a country where people have the freedom to do as they please as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
It's pretty telling that certain people pretend there is harm to children. They can't point to any real damage so they have to just pretend literally everybody they disagree with is a secret pedophile.
What does "scientific" mean here? Science doesn't say if it's good or bad to like your own race over others. In fact, scientific evidence suggests that when you grow up in a diverse environment you don't tend to like your own race over others, and that race preference is a learned behavior.
but it is as they please
! biology teacher says what he thinks, religion teacher says what he thinks, why not!
as for harm to children, yes there is definitely harm to children
for example did you know that mothers have an instinctive behavior that they only use simple words when talking to a baby, and then gradually start using more complicated ones as the kid learns :blush: ? reason is simple, dont bother a kid with what it cant understand or even care about. as for "learned behavior", if you brainwash someone hard enough, you pretty much implant a learned behavior
also on preferring all races same, well now i cant agree with that at all
i mean yes i got evidence, but im sure you do as well because even science seems to be really polarized these days so its not hard to find studies that confirm whatever
personally i think that if you grow in a diverse environment, you are pretty much forced to say that you like everyone equally because theres always someone watching what you said, and its not worth it to say what you really think
for example! i live in serbia. we dont really have black people at all, but we do have gypsies. a LOT of gypsies. and lemme tell you a secret. eveeeeryone here hates gypsies. at the same time, no one hates blacks, because serbs as a race dont have any positive or negative experience with them. but when you talk to people formally, they dont mind if you use a slur for a black person but they DO mind if you use a slur for a gypsy (saying "ciganin" instead of "rom")
see, its not about disliking someone, its about not wanting to rough any feathers, and its not like the serbian black community will mind, all 3 of them
my opinion is that the closer someone is genetically to you, the more you care about him, if you control for other factors. so you > everyone else, your family > other families, your group > other groups, your race > other races, your species > other species etc.
