>Additionally, Quillette has obtained copies of complaints against Prescod-Weinstein recently submitted to UNH by three other scholars. Among these materials is a database cataloguing over 50,000 of the tweets that Prescod-Weinstein posted during the five-year period ending in September 2023.

And yet you would still behave differently around someone if you knew they were schizophrenic, and treat claims they make differently, out of a natural sense of self-preservation, especially if you didn't know them well or at all.

Racism has pros and cons. If one group actually is significantly different than another, then it could be useful to create social norms and heuristics on how to deal with that group. The downside is that it can lead to false positives, such as assuming a black nerd is retarded and violent just because ghetto blacks are more likely to be. Or that dark skinned Brahmins are the same as Africans simply based on color.

Ideologies like religion have tried to extend the concept of the in-group to be larger and larger, so as to reduce inter-group violence and increase cooperation. Christianity especially is known for its values of charity, mercy, forgiveness, salvation. These try to give people second chances and reduce the incidence of blood feuds between groups, leading to a 'brotherhood of man.' In this sense they try to make the meaningful difference between people based on values or culture, rather than physical appearance. In terms of game theory this strategy worked better for multiethnic empires, as memes spread much faster than genes.

Since there are genetic differences between ethnic groups, and that may explain some percentage of the variance in behavior, it's not entirely baseless to be 'racist' to some degree. However it's possible for culture and upbringing to supercede genetic predispositions in large part. Perhaps the more reasonable future position will be to recognize there are average differences, not expect perfect equality of outcomes, but still give people a chance to prove their merit.
