This mechanism likely developed because the biological tendency of encephalization, which means most sensory organs are on your head and by your brain, so if you think you see a face that isnt there youre only momentarily startled, however if you dont see a face that is there you get your pockets, or loin cloth, ran.
It seems pretty obvious that Whirly is likely not racist. He could be with other races. Perhaps even black men. But at the worst, he's not racist against black women. Trying to pass any other narrative like PVS (Bashar Teg) is doing is just arguing for arguing's sake. You can never tell what he will get super buttmad angry about and start arguing about for pages. So it's best just to ignore him when he gets into his mode.
All that other stuff...too right. 👆
