@HeerJeet Tribalism is natural, if anything human is. What you eat/hate is a social artifact, not the fact of eating/hating. -
@willwilkinson Right, but I see tribalism as different from racism. - Show replies

@HeerJeet True enough, but maybe one thought too many. Seems to matter that donning the mask implicitly assumes black people to be objects.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet Yes, but you seem to be implying that the reverse is also true. It seems there could be a counterfactual to your interpretation.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet Marriage is obviously a social artifact; we still know what I mean if I say “their marriage is just a performance." -
@normative@HeerJeet But if you pretend to love someone, you might find that you really do! - Show replies

@HeerJeet puzzled why you would say racism is not "natural." Defining in-group and out-group is pretty clearly a human instinct. -
@RubenBolling Sure, but I think of that as tribalism, which is slightly different (although some over-lapping) from racism. - Show replies
