# walrus man do you think it is possible for zombies to be racist

# i've never met a racist zombie.
at least, i don't think i have. it's hard to tell.

# Still working on that script, or whatever it is?
I think a zombie of a racist who was strongly motivated by racism might retain the same habitual enmities despite no longer having much of a mind to hold them in. As Walrus Man points out, you wouldn't really need one.

# hitler's zombie would probably still be a bit racist

# Would he crave the brains of jews
or find them distasteful?

# see this is one issue I have
if they don't like a certain race, would they want to turn them into zombies or would that just compound their issues?

# The bottom line is that they're very stupid
so they'd probably want to attack their racial enemies, but not eat them, unaware of the potential to create new zombies that way. Ironic.

# yes I am
Do you think it's possible for a zombie to develop new prejudices, maybe due to mistreatment by a certain group of people?

# like if the zombies were oppressed do you think they would revolt
and if they did revolt do you think they would maintain their prejudice after they had achieved justice
(I helped save b3ta! gronkpan @vomitinglarry.bsky.social, Wed 11 Mar 2009, 2:03, archived)
# Yes
but the revolt would be driven by mob anger rather than conscious planning. And they might well hold onto grudges - though the idea of a zombie not resenting anybody is the tricky part.

# I guess it's feasible.
That implies you can train a zombie by hitting it or bribing it, but OK, why not.
The ability to learn smacks a little bit too much of healthy, wholesome, living creature, and not of uncannily animated dead flesh, that's the only problem.
Edit: they should be only trainable in gruesome, harrowing ways.

# I'm thinking more like how a plant can be trained to grow a certain way (like bonsai trees or ivy on a lattice)
and yes, they will be 'trained' with electric shocks and mechanical manipulation of tendons
