There's something underlying people's choices when faced with the prisoner's dilemma: trust. If you believe that the other prisoner will rat you out first, it makes more sense for you to be first. If you believe they will not rat you out, then you are best served by doing the same. Societies flourish when there is mutual trust. Societies disintegrate when trust breaks down. Trust is the reason white and Japanese societies flourish, but all others fail miserably. Importing people from cultures that prioritize "getting theirs" over trust is what is destroying Western culture.
Being honest and trustworthy is critical to a functioning society, and these days nobody teaches kids how important that is.

Ya, and usually white people can trust each other. Or at least they used to. Not anymore.

I bet if you could make a society where you had to earn your way in by being extremely trustworthy in situations where you could have gotten away with being untrustworthy it would be a literal utopia. Especially if you could be sentenced to deportation for being convicted of violating someone's trust.
