Othering

in General ASD
Why do we do it?
When we raise one group up at the expense of another group, despite having been originally a marginalised group, aren't we just repeating history.
I wonder as an autistic person, why we can endorse and engage in othering.
Is it part of the theory of mind idea?
...Just half thoughts I'm having atm.

In my mind, othering is just words and ideas. They may be unfair and untrue, but they are not terribly important unless they're part of a campaign of material mistreatment of the othered group. The othering group would have to have some kind of power over the othered group. Otherwise the othering is just people saying possibly untrue or unpleasant things that will have little or no social significance.
