What’s racism that it should be classified as mental illness? Stabbing someone for their race or using a slur? I have sympathy on someone who is maimed or killed for what color they are but if you’re such a pussy that you can’t walk away when someone calls you a slur, you’re mentally ill with anxiety and paranoia, not the one who called you a slur.
Not really. Illness is well known to be been population devastating. Smallpox literally drove the Native Americans to nonexistence, and is theorized to be a major cause for why the dinosaurs may have gone extinct. Incidents like the Black Death were absolutely not uncommon historically. Entire cities, populations, races, countries, and even species have been wiped out by disease single-handedly. Don’t take our modern luxuries for granted and think that that’s how it was historically.
You are obsfucating human response to disaster with commonality. Continents being wiped out by disease was common historically, but obviously going to be destructive to us as a species and we would be terrified and alarmed by it, just as the Native Americans and Europeans were. Doesn’t mean it’s not natural. Not sure what your point is. Death is common, though we’re still alarmed by it. Also, if I’m not wrong, did you argue that racism is more intrinsic than disease to humans?
