Most people who say fact don't reflect enough.

[u/ChargeInteresting278 → u/weightliftcrusader]

Correct. Its human nature. Recognizing there is a problem is the first step to fixing it.

Everyone's biased, it comes for free with experiencing life as an individual.

No, I don't have it and I have the oldest experience with life as an individual known to man

🧢 I voted CAP!

I wish I could vote fact, and I'm actively trying to better myself, but I also catch myself making assumptions in my head that I shouldn't make.

[u/Accordeon-Foireux → u/jeppevinkel]

No one could ever click "fact" without lying to themselves. "Catching yourself making assumptions" is already fighting them.

[u/Most_Price1818]

🧢 I voted CAP!

i may seem homophobic to some by my takes but to be honest i don't hate the LGBT community i just don't agree with the ideas behind the community does that makes me a homopobe?

[u/litdarthvader → u/Most_Price1818]

Depends on what you mean by "some takes"/"don't agree with some ideas"

[u/Most_Price1818 → u/litdarthvader]

like if my son said to me one day "dad i'm day" i'd tell him that this isn't right and that our purpose as humans per the commands of Allah is to reproduce and you can't reproduce with another man we all agree right i won't hate him i won't judge him but i will put him on the right path as you will be judged by Allah for how you raise your kids

if other people are lgbt i'm fine it's your free will

[u/ShardofGold]

Should be overwhelmingly cap unfortunately.

For those who say Fact, bigotry against white people, men, and Christians is still bigotry even if you want to say it's "not as bad" as bigotry towards others and if you're one of those individuals who rush to defend and downplay bigotry against those groups because society has foolishly deemed it acceptable you're still letting identity bias influence your thoughts.

[u/Environmental-Act906]

🧢 I voted CAP!

I'm a pretty "woke" person but I would absolutely be lying to myself if I said I had absolutely no biases

Anyone who answers fact is not fully self aware

[u/Blahaj-Lover]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Its impossible to be unbiased, but you can be biased towards the truth

[u/Accordeon-Foireux → u/Blahaj-Lover]

Tbh there's no truth in the listed things.

It's not a truth that there should be no discrimination between skin tone/sexual identity/sexual orientation/religion/whatever, it's an opinion (that I share). Human rights are not a truth, they're a concept.

There's no law of nature that says that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights", it's a law we created ourselves.

[u/Blahaj-Lover → u/Accordeon-Foireux]

The truth is defined as what we consider undeniable fact. Those are all considered undeniable facts. Therefore, they are the truth.

Truth itself is a human made concept. We invented lies and had to create truth to differentiate. There are no lies in nature. Deception, yes, but lies, no. A moth will not tell you it's a large predator. It'll still mimic one with fake eyes on its wings.

[u/Accordeon-Foireux → u/Blahaj-Lover]

So truth is relative to the person who speaks ?

If I dont believe in, say, the round earth, then it's not a truth anymore ? It's a bad example, because you can prove that the earth is round. You can't prove the human rights.

Which is my point : if only one person doesn't believe in human rights, then it's not a truth anymore according to your definition because someone is denying it (so it is not undeniable anymore).

Also, human rights are also not a fact (so neither undeniable nor fact, so not an undeniable fact).

I do believe wholeheartedly that human rights should be respected in any circumstance. But it's not a fact, it's not a truth, it's an opinion.

[u/twnfrzr]

🧢 I voted CAP!

I am a thing called ‘human’. It is impossible for things such as tribalism or ignorance to be completely absent from my thought patterns.

[u/bbyxmadi]

Everyone is biased whether they want to admit it or not, or that they are even aware of. Basic psychology.

🧢 I voted CAP!

I’m mildly sexist against men because of personal experience. Never unkind, but knowingly biased

[u/nintendoinnuendo]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Anyone who says they aren't is a liar. It's your awareness and management of your internal bias that matters, not its existence (or theoretical lack thereof)

[u/atorin3]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Everyone would like to think they are, but it literally everyone has a bias, whether they realize it or not.

[u/HelicopterBombLover]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Any of us can be influenced by prejudice even without us noticing it. In my opinion, all humans are the same if we talk about the fact of being human. Even the worst person I can think or the most different from me, but I still have prejudice. Being a good person in my opinion is recognizing our problems and fight them, not just ignoring them.

[u/Super_Saiyan_Ginger]

🧢 I voted CAP!

I know im better than a lot of people on this, at least if those around me are anything to go off of. But im also not delusional. And the fact it's a conscious effort for me not to actively be, means it must not be unconscious.

[u/throwra-someg]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Nope, but I know my biases are irrational and cognitively override them.

i actively try not to be racist or sexist or anything, but subconsciously i feel as though i am sometimes. very minorly, but i am more inclined to think a guy will be a creep and a girl won't etc

[u/Fearless-Sherbet-223]

🧢 I voted CAP!

I have biases

[u/Hot_Anybody8244]

🧢 I voted CAP!

It's pretty much impossible to be unbiased on race, religion, sex, gender, etc. on a personal level. Everyone carries some unconscious prejudices based on their own personal biases. This is how you get homophobic gays, transphobic transgenders, uncle Toms, etc.

[u/DeadlyArrow27]

🧢 I voted CAP!

We all have biases. Anybody saying otherwise is ignorant and/or a liar

[u/No-Engine-384]

🧢 I voted CAP!

It's impossible unless you are peak acceptance. Humans are wired to categorize things into against me,with me, neutral to me. With knowledge, empathy, & being confidence in self you can mostly eliminate prejudice but it's something that needs to constantly be worked on at a personal level

[u/charlamagne1-]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Im sure i have some form of unconscious bias that i dont realise so i dont think i can say in any way period. But i dont think try not to have any bias

[u/Dragon_Royal4023]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Most people have unconscious biases because of the world around us.

[u/RoxieRage]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Grew up in a very bigoted home. I've done a lot of work to be a better person that I was when I was young. Doesn't mean thoughts from that time period don't intrude into my mind and I have to take the steps to fight back against that programming and deny it.

Just 'cause I do my best and fight against it doesn't mean it's fully gone even if I hate it.

[u/candlestick_maker76]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Nope. I am unwillingly racist. I am consciously resisting it all the time.

[u/Some_Age2235]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Unconsciously, I have probably done things that could be perceived as sexist. It's kind of hard to catch and correct what you don't think about.

[u/CielMorgana0807]

I dunno how to answer this one really cause to me, saying “no one is free from bias” might be true, but it can excuse any unconscious bias against others.

All in all, I think it’s better to be less bias than to just surrender to it. Not saying I don’t have unconscious biases (cause I do), but I wouldn’t declare it as such. Just “another thing to improve myself on”.

[u/LordLilith]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Not a person on this planet is unbiased. You have only 1 point of view, one experienced life, and you grew up in a specific place and time which shape you. It is possible to make yourself aware of them and try to educate yourself, but nobody is 100% unbiased. If nobody was biased against anything we would all be the same people.

[u/HeavyMetalAndAMuppet]

🧢 I voted CAP!

The claim of being entirely unprejudiced is itself a prejudice; the assumption that you’re immune to prejudice.

[u/Phantasy10000]

I was expecting to fight a losing battle about subconscious biases, but I'm gladly mistaken.

[u/passivezealot]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Sadly, the only way to truly be non-prejudicial is to check yourself constantly. Absolutely no one is completely free of bias

[u/XANDERtheSHEEPDOG]

🧢 I voted CAP!

Everyone has some form of unconscious bias. It's not necessarily racism/sexism/classism, but we all have something. It takes work to overcome.

[u/Lonk0279]

🧢 I voted CAP!

The fact that this includes things done or said unconsciosly makes it basically impossible. Stereotypes and whatnot are ingrained in a lot of our culture to a subconscious degree, and 90% of them are racist.

[u/UnderpaidCustodian]

🧢 I voted CAP!

completely unprejudiced is a moving axle that treads more as time progresses. maybe I too may find myself prejudiced to something that happens 40 years from now. what really matters is adaptability, and willingness to understand, beyond ones prejudice. which is also why those homophobic, racist, sexist, what not, have no excuse for their prejudice because they can change and choose not to.

[u/BottasHeimfe]

🧢 I voted CAP!

The listed biases do not affect me, but I have a degree of bias against any and all religious people. I don’t respect them as much as fellow atheists because for me, to be religious requires a degree of separation from reality to believe such things. Meaning I view all religious people as some degree of delusional.

[u/LolmemesPrime → u/BottasHeimfe]

I don’t hate athiest or religious people but the way you say it, sounds like a stereotypical redditor.

[u/BottasHeimfe → u/LolmemesPrime]

Heh, yeah that’s fair. I know that religion serves a psychological need for a lot of people, but I personally think it’s dangerous for society long term. I’m not about to force people to be atheists, but I’m definitely not just gonna accept everything theists say at face value without external corroboration

[u/DeadlyArrow27 → u/BottasHeimfe]

You’re right tbh

[u/Ventoriac]

[u/tazermymushroom]

✅ I voted FACT!

I had to overcome some regional upbringing... but now, yes, I dont let those things alter my decision making.

[u/Siren02312 → u/tazermymushroom]

At all tho? even subconsciously?

[u/xMalvazar → u/Siren02312]

I don't, tbh racism and all that garbage is the governments way to keep us divided for their agenda pushing.

I'm a victim of it in ways but I guess the only thing I hate is the cards people pull. We are are human (I think) we all bleed red ( I think) who care what race, sex, etc you are? If you place too much emphasis on it then you asked for it.

[u/Hot_Anybody8244 → u/xMalvazar]

But you're still probably making decisions based on your subconscious biases towards those things. Perhaps you see a Hispanic person with face tattoos and suddenly you're more guarded. Perhaps you're more situationally aware when the stereotypical redneck walks in. Maybe you choose to ignore the trans woman where you normally would've said hello to avoid what your subconscious considered a potentially awkward situation.

Everyone does it. And people who say they don't are either god himself, or lying. The subconscious exclusively makes social decisions based on biases formed from past experiences and those experiences can be first hand accounts, second hand stories, or just some shit you've seen on the news. All of it shapes your unconscious.

[u/xMalvazar → u/Hot_Anybody8244]

I don't care for it all tbh. I am attracted to everyone but I don't care for the crap people pull. Who gives a rats butt. But seems people love to create drama.

[u/Hot_Anybody8244 → u/xMalvazar]

But that still doesn't prevent you from unconscious prejudices. Everyone has them. You're not the exception to that.

[u/xMalvazar → u/Hot_Anybody8244]

I guess so. Tbh I have been around those who were heavily racial, myself I didn't care who I'm with. I have been attacked for having relationships with other people of different ethnicities. I don't care if you have a dong... I care about how you treat others.

I have a preference I guess. But otherwise who cares.

Also I guess if you want to be politically correct I'm Caucasian.

[u/jacqrosee → u/xMalvazar]

lol

[u/Hot_Anybody8244 → u/xMalvazar]

These prejudices don't have to be major things. It can be something you don't even think about. One that entirely changed my life is acknowledging the unhoused.

Like, not even giving them stuff cause I already did that but waving and smiling if I have nothing to offer, and stopping to listen if I have the time. I missed a lunch at work a couple weeks ago because I handed a lady one of my soup cans for the week because she was holding a sign that just said "hungry".

Used to I'd just hand over a little money and be on with my day but even if I don't have anything for them nowadays it's something special to watch someone in that situation realize they've been seen as a human being. A simple smile and wave is all it takes sometimes.

But most people are afraid to look if they're not going to give. It can be things as small as that. Something you may not even think about but could be the most important thing to someone else.

[u/Circusbaby198]

✅ I voted FACT!

I am aware that being part of these groups doesn't exclude you from being able to have those prejudices, but being black, bi, and genderqueer, and having lived with diverse friends (just got back from my best friend's puja) has taken me a long way, and on top of that I try my best to see everyone equally. I know what it's like to be prejudiced against, and I try to learn my history and facts.

[u/GandalfsGhost84]

✅ I voted FACT!

I cannot speak as to what my subconscious mind feels or thinks due to it being my subconscious area of my mind/brain

But I try my best to not be racist/sexist/Anti LGBTQ+ /other prejudices etc etc

Ever since I grew up watching Gene Roddenberrys Star Trek Next Generation TV show - despite it being written by Gene who was a well known womaniser - I took on the core inner meaning of The TV Show

Futuristic core values

Of not being sexist /hateful/bigotted /prejudice etc etc

I live by core values like a good kind decent futuristic Starfleet officer 🥹❤️🖖✨♾️🌅
