Let’s keep it light-hearted. For me I’ve seemed to notice way more conservatives back their cars into spaces than their liberal counter parts.

    Conservatives are more likely to follow college sports, while liberals are more likely to follow professional sports.

    Why? Beats me.

    Edit: I read this in a study once. Might be this one. Also, I’m reminded that basketball fans are more likely to be liberal as well.

    I’ve always felt like conservative people are more likely the type of people who walk their dogs off leash. Don’t tread on me extends to their pets

      A big part of conservatism is social dominance orientation: i.e. having a worldview in which every social interaction has a dominant party, and thus aspiring to project dominance in all areas. Using your dogs to dominate other people’s space can be part of this.

    Conservatives seem to eat fast food more. Conservatives also seem to be home-schooled more. Lastly, liberals seem to try more food than conservatives. Conservatives typically stick to what they know and are more traditional whereas liberals explore and understand more cultures through food.

      That one’s highly political. You know, so precious little Billy-Bob doesn’t get exposed to dangerously new, untested ideas like the wheel, or fire.

    I’ll talk with respect to India. A bunch of dominant caste (including a decent chunk of middle caste and uplifted/politically represented lower castes) folks rent houses, of which, the upper castes are simply the worst kind of landlords.

    A small minority of them don’t discriminate, or disregard this, when money is involved. But most still do.

    How exactly? They ask for your full government name - your surname speaks about your caste. But that would be really rude in the 21st century, right? How exactly do they mask casteism then?

    Convey your caste using a lifestyle - “Oh, sorry, we don’t allow non-vegetarians”. This was literally our personal experience, especially in Mysuru, for the first time in my life. I was left stunned. And mind you, these people are educated, and have great jobs in the public sector.

    In the Hindi-speaking belt, they are even more direct about their bigotry: “We only allow people who come from अच्छे घराने (acche gharane, meaning good families)”. But you already know who the good, well-mannered families are, don’t you?

      Is that stuff not illegal? I know that’s not always the same as “can you actually usefully report it to anyone”, but still.

        It is, and there are laws to prevent this. But what’s even the point, when these laws are not enforced properly? And even if someone were to sue, there’s too many cases pending. Our courts are overburdened. Filing a police complaint is pointless.
