@Moon@helene the training is in associating that disgust response with the minority in question. this is why people doing signalling have to associate gay men with poop whenever possible, or old cartoons with japanese guys gave them buck teeth and weird yellow skin
@Moon@helene this is why estimates about prevalence of "minority groups" is so wildly inaccurate now (on the high end), because people are being trained to hate them, so the perceived influence of those people is inflated. left alone, the natural state of normal people to weirds is more just vague unease and distrust
