Biodeterminism is bunk science, as far as we know.

Yes, but I hope indoctrination is not yet debunked.

A person can't choose his upbringing. If you're raised by bigots you can't really be blamed for being a bit bigoted yourself. Because that was what you were taught as a child. Of course you can try to fight against it but I don't think everyone has the mental capacity to change or to reflect on oneself.

For example I was raised by very conservative and far left leaning east German parents who constantly complained about West-Germans, how great the life in east Germany was and how corporations and the governement are bad. For a while I was like that myself until I developed a mind of my own. I mean look at me now. While I'm not very conservative I am politically right leaning and I couldn't give 2 shits about east and west Germany.

But I wonder if anyone has a chance to make up their own minds. Especially if you have been brainwashed as a child.
