Yes you have correctly identified the flaw with such analogies, they are constructed with some biases in them and enough whitespace such that everyone will insert different meanings (you can see in my last (3rd) paragraph I kind of explain that a bit). The point in the 2nd paragraph was that stereotypes sometimes work on a subconscious level.
Here is apparently even a project that investigates it,
Give it a try, about 10 minutes or so for the test. It is a very raw test and doesn't test for secondary signals (clothing styles and so on), just race based on photographs cropped to show only the face. Anyway the point being, as original poster said, "cultural fit" is sometimes used to reflect these biases.
This seems like one of those divisive topics where if the person refuses to answer the question, for any reason whatever, they've failed, significantly so.
It's like non-trolls don't make it to the future... Like, there's no place for anyone who fails to follow up with something like:
(rejects the question on its face): But what about an intermixed group of guys and one girl wearing argyle garments of various types?
I mean, as a very real, practical problem: either the question absolutely fails or absolutely succeeds at its purpose, and its purpose is determing whether or not the asked absolutely fails or absolutely succeeds at something — but what? The question clearly has lost its value at its first iteration, and really only serves to entertain programmer-types.
For instance, if I were to ask anyone two generations back, they would clearly lose all patience. And the further I take this line of questioning back in history, the fewer the number of folk becomes for whom it is relevant (all the way back to, say, Aristotle, who probably has exactly the classically wrong answer). But as we ask it, we clearly see it as a template question. It isn't informative in any practical sense, and it does not directly modulate our practical ethics.
It's like we've already begun the post-future nostalgia: "Oh, remember way back when racism was a thing?" — But, paradoxically enough... It is still a thing!
Like, tomorrow I'm going to have to politely grimace in response to at least one racist joke — of which 10 years ago it did not exist as a class of joke, but 40 years ago probably would've incited a minor riot (just given its phonetic appearance).
My post was not intended to sidestep the parent's question by suggesting some random permutation of its elements, with the goal of titillating programmer-types the world over.
My post addressed the fact that the parent's question was flawed from the start. I do think it is worthwhile to try to understand how our racial attitudes affect ourselves and others. However, while the parent's post appeared to do just that, it was actually set up to trigger false positives and more superficial discussion of the type society has been holding for too long.
So, I am not altogether certain whether you and I agree or disagree.
How would you feel if it was a bunch of white guys in hoodies and baggy pants, who suddenly cross the street and start heading your way?
