As an almost psychology graduate, some aspects of research make me wonder if I could have gotten the grant and done the study.
I was reading this article when I wondered: In the absence of racial differences, will groups create their own divisions to mistreat in the same manner as racism.
What made me think of it was my experience in high school in Iowa.
Iowa, at the time, lacked minorities.
But we had many "out" groups in the school.
It'd be an interesting field of study.
From experience living in a nearly pure white country, they 100% will. If everyone's white, the out group will be based on something else. Could be nationality, could be hair color, could be whether your dad has a prestigious profession, or is on the outside with the Party.
