I moved to a quiet country town, >99% White, and the worst part about it is that my arm is getting tired from waving back to all the lovely strangers who smile and greet me everywhere I go. I really can't imagine any of them wanting to kill me for my identity, which is more than citizens of diverse cities can say.
This mindset is why, in a future not far away from now, we will have 20GHz 512-core IoT widgets with 8TB of RAM that still take 4 seconds to turn the lights on.
Because we fundamentally disagree on the intent. I don't agree that a cat is engaging in parasitic exploitation of the human toy-thrower, and I don't agree that a dog is toiling in servitude to the thankless human who keeps throwing away the retrieved item. They both love chasing things, they both understand that to chase the thing again they need to return it to the human, and they both appreciate the positive reinforcement, bonding, petting, and attention when they do so.
