    How so?

    that seems to just not be how people work.

    Some people are also racist, is it not good to discourage it?

    form groups and identities around those groups.

    Identifying around inherent traits is not something that always has to happen. Furthermore, tying yourself to traits whether inherent or not will make people very defensive of any criticism of anything relating to that

      If people didn’t inherently form social groups we would not be here.

      How’d you get that out of my answer is beyond me.

      The point is that people will join identity based social groups no matter what and they need better identities to form those groups around.

      It doesn’t need to be an inherent group, just an identity.
