I could only recommend an introductory college course since that's where I picked up the basics. Hopefully someone else has better resources. An important thing about sociology is understanding the different approaches there are to things and the language those approaches use.

Oh for sure. We already had complex social relationships that involved lying when we were only homo erectus and likely incapable of speech and were hunting full grown elephants and hippopotami(yeah, simple stone tools against those monsters required some serious teamwork). I think that creating a social face for those you DON'T know, though, had to come about once we were in a situation where there were people we interacted with that we didn't know. Hunter/gatherer societies generally still operated with too much of a cohesion for you to truly be "fake".

Your nonsense almost makes me want to leave Kbin because even when you get banned on other communities instances I still have to read your nonsensical prattle about how you want to genocide Palestinians.

I think one of the most helpful things you can do for yourself in actually understanding WHAT racism is is to first understand that you don't get to call yourself anything. You're white because society deems that you're white. You can rail against that all you want but you'll still be white. Now not everybody will actually follow that logic, but the vast majority will because those codes are internalized. They can change over time (I believe that currently folks of the Levant are being slowly considered nonwhite despite them historically, within the last hundred years at least, being considered white) but they're unlikely going to change for you.

What do you with activated carbon? You bury it. It often comes from sustainable charcoal itself. It's actually GOOD for the environment.
