New paper from Laura Silva, Franco Bonomi Bezzo et al. They examines drivers of prejudicial attitudes among adults in the UK, focusing on the interaction between ethnic out-group size and personality traits. Authors observe a tendency towards polarisation in prejudicial attitudes between low-/high-agreeableness residents as their neighbourhoods become more diverse. sciencedirect.com/science/arti

Having shaken off nationalism, Europe risks civilisationalism.

It is possible to be black and Dutch, or for a person of Moroccan descent to be unequivocally French. But is it possible to be non-white and to think of oneself as “European”?

Might eight decades of EU integration accidentally foment a form of ugly, pan-continental bigotry?

A new book decries the continent’s subtler form of chauvinism.

Imagine two countries. The first is proudly Christian, it allowed racial in living memory and is mentioned more frequently in its media than anywhere else in the developed world. The second is strictly secular and legally prohibits the collection of on people’s race, a conscious effort by its leaders to avoid using to differentiate or divide.

This oughta end well…

“But many in India are foregoing that in-person contact with a guru interpreting the Bhagavad Gita and turning to online chatbots, which imitate the voice of the Hindu god Krishna and give answers to probing questions about the meaning of life based on the religious scripture's teachings. 

It's new technology with the tendency to veer off script and condone violence, according to experts, who warn that artificial intelligence chatbots playing god can be a dangerous mix. 

Several of the bots consistently provide the answer that it's OK to kill someone if it's your dharma, or duty.”

Torsten Bell of the Resolution foundation on institutional in the :

'more strike-affected hospitals saw worse outcomes for black emergency patients, who were more likely to be readmitted in successive weeks. That is compared with white patients in the same hospital. So when hospitals were under pressure, black patients disproportionately lost out through poorer care'!

Yes, there is an but its effects should not be patterned by ... reform must factor this in!
