Conditioning, mainly insidious, is ubiquitous. In the main, it is also unfortunate. Its worst feature is not so much the false portrayals, ideologies and stereotypes that it creates - as unfortunate or even destructive as they may be, but that the majority don't realise that is has affected them. It is so powerful that they will deny inconsistency, refute reality and defend hypocrisy.
This article has great value in its highlighting of this fact. Unfortunately, too many will dismiss, not understand or ignore it.
Until all of humanity - or at least the majority of it - understands that we are of one race, regardless of our differences, and that our similarities, the universalities that connect us, and the ubiquity of feelings - whether positive or negative, are felt by us all and more important than constructed agendas and difference as deficit or worse, life will be degraded for most of us and insanity promoted by demagogues will continue.
Thank your for raising this issue. It is highly important, in my view.

As a psychologist, I fully agree with this comment. Well said.
The colonial rot runs deep😔 I'm seeing it everywhere. Alas, it's a worldwide issue.
