That's the philosophical difference between us Issac. I believe human nature is largely fixed and unchangeable.
And I believe everyone has the same human nature. I live in a country where 95%+ people are white, catholic and ethnically pure-Polish. And guess what, we have everything from muders, to political conflicts, to racism (yes, the question "but against who if everyone's white lol?" is a good one in Polish context), antisemitism, robbery, financial manipulations, "ghettos" etc. And it's all done by white western-civilization catholics here. There are no differences. There can be a thieves, hateful people, murders of every race, gender, sexuality, religion, culture.

That there are real differences between people across racial, gender, and class divides. This was understood for nearly all of human history until recently when hard truths were discarded in favor of protecting people's feelings. Society has grown too soft.
What understanding? It was nothing but racism, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, etlisms and the rest. Women had no rights, slavery existed, prosecution of homosexuality, more wars & conflicts than ever. Exactly what kind of understanding is that?
