Perhaps our secret racism/sexism, hidden even to ourselves, is actually what guides the world?
It's a perfect theory. It can't be disproven -- because the bias is so completely hidden, we aren't even aware of it
Every time a woman isn't elected, it is proof of the secret bias. But then, somehow, the fact we did elect and then re-elect a black man with 57% is also proof. As a nation, we ONLY did that to show that we AREN'T secret racists, or something.
