B) these "algorithms" are responsible for institutional racist thinking (to put it another way, seeing a person of ___ color on TV doing ____ does convince your brain that in general people of ____ color do ____, because those pattern matching bits aren't sophisticated enough to tell what's on TV apart ... because they evolved long before TV existed)

C) that a person's thinking can be changed by changing the pattern inputs

what kind of proof would convince you of it?
If this is the case, why do we see most racism in areas of greatest exposure?

Why do good behaviors of ordinary people not effect this change?
