Basically, we are born to be bigots.

I imagine that's why we hug toy plush bears and not the real ones.

yeah, people like to try and claim otherwise, but a lot of children are just small adults. look at the feminists in college campuses and tell me they don't "act like children". look at angry BLM protesters and tell me they aren't acting like angry boys. look at older feminists and tell me that they are different from their younger counterparts. look at club goers, video game fanatics, and a host of other hobby enthusiasts and tell me that they aren't doing the exact same thing children do. children are little adults who are still ignorant of a lot of things. but once they pass the former operational stage of development they are just as reasoned as adults are, but with greater levels of ignorance and less ability to accurately model very complex concepts (which let's face it, most adults don't model that shit correctly anyway).
