Indeed, recognizing the importance of others as equal to oneself, regardless of color, is commendable. The author may have flawed in that.

Engaging with differing viewpoints can sometimes strengthen our beliefs or provide new insights. However, it's equally valid to prioritize readings that align with your values and support your commitment to equality.
I believe that living is so simple and that people perform at their best when they feel safe. Let's leave the discussion for another day.

Anthony M. D'Agostino, MD's book "Prejudice, Racism, and Tribalism" explores the negative consequences of bias and discrimination. The author offers insight on how such undesirable practices can divide communities and stymie progress. We can work toward a more inclusive and peaceful society if we recognize and solve these concerns. Congratulations on BOTD!

I am fascinated by these three topics (racism, tribalism, and prejudices) that the author has deemed to be "sensitive". I am interested in learning about how these three topics/concepts are often misused/interchanged.
