Oh, good. Because the realms of porn and fraternities aren't enough--middle-class white men need yet ANOTHER socially acceptable place to degrade women and minorities.
I did not watch it, just read the comments - From a scientific point of view, the "us versus them" concept is so common and widespread in the animal kingdom (us included) that it will probably require more than an act of congress to rise above it.
If you've watched "Meerkat Manor," you can see some of that behavior.
In order to rise above this innate evolution-condoned thinking, it might be necessary to just wait until the mixing of the races is complete, then we'll all be "us." But I don't know if that would affect male vs female at all. In order to eradicate that, it would probably be necessary to equip women (only) with cattle prods, with orders to use them when feeling scorned. Personally, *I* think the female gender is far more intelligent than the male, and is deserving of much respect. Males, on the other hand, are people I have to compete with. (males enjoy jousting tournaments - and virtually any sport where pain is inflicted - including war - another evolutionarily dictated behavior) Disclaimer: Sorry, I'm just postulating here, I don't really know.
