To equate people who are racist with the broad term of ‘conservative’ makes you as small minded as the people you write against.
This is a misstatement of what I said. I was quoting research following children with a low IQ, which showed that they tend to have racist, xenophobic, and conservative worldview when the grow to become adults. This is not the same as saying that conservatives are racists. Some are, many are not. For a more complete answer to you comment see my post “The neuropsychology of a conservative worldview”, published 1/29/12.
Hello,
Last year in August you published an article titled “The Neuroscience of Emotions and Inequality” in which you explained how Americans have been brainwashed into a national self-image of rugged individualists.
The article mentioned some findings about Americans and how they perceive other people. But there was hardly any mention of the same research conducted on non-Americans. Without seeing people from different countries have different results, one might conclude that all humans might as well have these characteristics.
Would you mind pointing to some research that sheds some light on this issue?
Thanks in advance,
- Nikolas
