People WILL often react differently depending on many things, their skin colour, gender, etc, etc. Why? Not because of chemicals in the brain, to take that road would be like trying to find scientific basis for race, and we all know how fuckin laughable that is. No, because your reactions, decisions, emotions differ depending on your experiences, and people who look different are not gonna be treated the same in this society. In the face of a white cop in a dark street, who's gonna show more fear, the black/asian/latino/insertanydistinctgrouphere, or a white guy in a suit? Doesn't answer the original ?, but there ya go,
