Less motivation for people to be racist if they have their needs met.

If and only if what they'll be given is not taken away by anyone under any reason.**

Loss aversion bias innately exists within us for a reason: How can anyone live if someone else seeks to take what they have away?

I think this is true. When needs aren't met, they are more likely to follow a cult leader.

Except their need to be racist. Sorry, it's pretty easy to be any kind of bigot with all your needs met.

  • Yeah there are plenty of rich racists. But I think the racism party would take a haircut if people didn't feel screwed over.
