Research has shown the Beta-blocker Propranolol has the side effect of making people less subconsciously racist it was reported in the Daily Telegraph. While racism is not a trait celebrated by most, it is a basic right to have free thought on all subjects, and these findings have wide ranging moral ramifications.
Over the years the push for anti-racism has been celebrated as a liberal goal to create a world in which we all thrive in an environment where everyone is equal regardless of race or religion. Many other groups have jumped on the equality bandwagon demanding equal rights for homosexuals, transgender people, dwarfs and disabled people to name but a few. All these groups have now extra rights to give them the ability to function in society without fear of repression and abuse. Some people believe that this has given rise to an imbalance in the law meaning that people who do not fit into a category covered by equality legislation, are now at a disadvantage as their rights are not protected in the same way.

Meanwhile the stereotypical white male has become a figure of ridicule in many programmes and adverts, often portrayed as fat and/or stupid, i.e. Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin etc. Full story...
