if men could give birth, there would be no purpose for women at all.
1. kinda goes in tandem with #1
I don't really know what you mean, to be honest. Of course stereotypes and social prejudices can arise from objective and empirical realities.
"black people run faster" is a baseless stereotype with no ground to stand onyou have to objectively show, through genetics, that there is a "black gene" that is exclusive to black peoplethat allows them to be more athleticyou aren't gonna be able to find it, because it doesn't exist
Black people, when aggregated, tend to be faster because of differences in bone density and limb length which shifts the centre of gravity.

I didn't say it was, but the claim that "black people run faster" is not a claim of causation in the first place.

I don't believe that they are. I've never seen a person who wasn't a complete and utter retard claim that black people are faster because they're black. I've no doubt they believe that there is something about black people which makes them faster, as I described, but they don't assume that it is because of their skin colour.

Numerous psychology experiments actually proved that people do follow racial stereotypes at a subconscious level. Some people display more prejudice than others but essentially "Everyones a little bit racist."
99.99...% of people, whether they're willing to admit it or not, only care about themselves, and that's not okay.99.99...% of things considered valuable by humans are not actually of any intrinsic value.
There is no god (obligatory).
