As a result, people should think about whether they are contributing to it - because I am 100% certain that absolutely everyone is actively involved in some sort of discrimination without being aware of it.
I think our discussion is basically over, since evolutionary psychology is hard to prove at best, and a pseudo-science at worse, but I'd just like to point out that I'm in no way disagreeing with this basic point.
