Yeah the main problem is lack of awareness, not indifference to something people are already aware of. In-group preference is a self preservation instinct in this case, and I’m confident in people’s ability to understand that instinctively.

Not having in-group preference is like not caring more about your own mother than just any random older woman. Everybody cares about their mother, even if their relationship is strained. It’s the same in this case.


I don't think this is about in-group, out-group behavior. This is about how well you can look up claims on the internet and what recourse you have to evaluate these claims when there's conflict.

Anyway, how much do Afrikaners really share with white Americans in the first place? I'm skeptical of claims that we share any culture or identity to begin with. To presume in-group, out-group behavior, you have to truly believe in the universality of whiteness on a level I just cannot fathom. And this mindset comes with corollaries that are probably wildly unacceptable to mention on this forum.


There was a study done years ago that found one group (young white liberal women, I think) doesn't have an in-group bias, they have an out-group bias. All the others had the expected in-group bias.
