I don’t care if people call me stereotyping or other specific terms. This feels so obvious to me. There are people like Trump with his evil tilted eyes or Amy Coney Barrett, Joe manchin, Matt Gaetz, Marge traitor green, Stephen Miller.
Essentially stupidity and/or evil faces. It can even be stereotyped further with obvious checks. Wearing a cross on the neck? A dress? Pickup trucks, American flags, church etc etc…
Why do Conservatives, (who are definitely evil) look so obviously physically evil? Like it warps the flesh! I can’t be crazy, people see this right?
Then what are these half million year honed instincts? The ability to sense danger when around unstable groups, the stranger danger that tells us maybe we shouldn’t sit down next to this particular person on the bus, or that people that are always scowling and frowning, are not going to suddenly smile and laugh with you?
My guess is that they’re the remnants evolved biases that were formerly useful, like being able to spot the differences between Homo sapiens and Homo erectus, that we still possess but just aren’t useful anymore. We still have a coccyx (tailbone), but we sure as hell don’t need it.
This could also be completely wrong. I haven’t studied evolutionary biology.
Black women and misogynoir have entered the chat.
Maybe sometimes people have valid injustices they face in their lives that make them not likely to be all sunshine and roses and smiling all the time.
Are they “evil” because they are not ready to smile and laugh with you?
The “angry black woman” stereotype has literally been used to belittle black women and paint them as “evil” for generations.
