A disturbing psychology fact #philosophy #psychology

Here is a dark fact about our moral psychology. We are much more likely to favour people we think of ourselves as being in “our group”. So if you are liberal you are more likely to like and support other liberals, and vice versa.

But if there is an in-group, there must be an out-group, and for every group of people you arbitrarily favour, there is a group of people you are unfairly discriminating against.

This in-group bias is thought to be a factor in many racist and sexist beliefs, but it does not just stop there. So where do you think you have fallen prey to this cognitive bias.
