Or homophobic, or transphobic, or other flavor of the month phobic.

But it’s all the “isms”, they’re all just different ways to describe “in/out group bias” which older than humans, primates, and considering birds even mammals.
It’s a fundamental part of human life.
The only problem is people weren’t getting socialized first due to distance and then due to instuitional laws. And as people age they fall back on earlier “in/out group biases” of what they were exposed to as young.
Everyone can be guilty of “doing an ism” and most of the time not even realize it, really mean it, or even control it. The brain just stressed and falls back on that shit.
We fix it by understanding it and working towards the current new generation getting properly socialized and motivated enough to keep doing it
That’s why conservatives fight so hard against “indoctrination” seeing a demographic exists when young is all it takes to stop them from becoming “them” later. They’re just another member of the tribe to our monkey brains, they’re always be “us”.
