I get really turned off when people explicitly promote a gender/racial identity, but I really like it when I see it implicitly promoted. E.g., "feminism" in media makes me feel gross, but I love the feel of good shows that feature women telling women's stories.

Or, to clarify all of this - when "I AM WOMYN HEAR ME ROAR" or "BLACK LIVES" or any other group is obviously felt, but is expressed through pure creation and not through a sense of war, that feels good and I love it even if I'm not part of the group being celebrated

I picked the two least controversial groups to talk about here but you betcha I feel this for all of them.

Being proud or ashamed of your own skin color for its own sake is one of the absolute dumbest things you can do. It's a quality you were born with, completely out of your choice. I'm personally into mixing people up, not imprisoning them in tight, homogeneous cultural boxes.

To some extent yes? Here's a really in depth blog post that reviews lots of studies in a "knows-how-data-works" way; https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/25/race-and-justice-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ … And the conclusion is basically there's a lot of bias in some areas but not in others - and not police shootings.
