Being lost to racism is low IQ, but so is being "blind" to race/ethnicity.

Ethnic stereotypes are useful in navigating inherent tribes, but they're not iron clad. 🗺️

Sometimes people overcome their inherent tribes and become something more. ✝️

Thank God for that.

Unfortunately if you belong to a group that is viewed negatively by a person it will initially be assumed you have those same negative characteristics until proven otherwise

Stereotypes exist for a reason. Also yes, over-indexing is not useful!

Everyone is an individual, no matter the general qualities of the group to which he might be assigned. Heuristics can be useful but the trade off of overusing them at the expense of this core truth is a loser IMO.
