That’s between me and my poo dealer.

Simply: just because one factor has some effect on our behavior doesn’t mean it’s solely to blame for our behavior.

Indeed! That can happen even if your neighbors are not white, believe it or not.

That’s literally what the phrase “profiled in the news” means. “Profiled in the news” is a phrase synonymous with “featured in the news”. In this instance the word “profiled” isn’t standing alone, it’s part of an oft-used phrase with an established meaning. I didn’t have to use context to glean the meaning, the phrase has a known meaning.

That’s not what profiled means in this context.
“Profiled on the news” means “featured on the news”.

> You never see a white rich man being profiled on the news
SBF has been in the news for 2 months straight.
Stop with the lies, the cherry picking, and the confirmation bias.

Science is unnecessary, we’ve got this anonymous person’s anecdote.

This can't really be called a sense can it? If sense of time is a biological sense, then so should be sense of distance, or sense of danger, or any other thing we can perceive and roughly calculate.

Everybody is missing an obvious cause for the UI “sameness”: UI/UX is a discipline that optimizes for certain features, typically user engagement and ease of use. Once the optimal patterns are found, they will be implemented across the board.
For comparison, every nation on the planet has very, very similar traffic laws and signage/symbology. The optimal way to control traffic has been found, so everybody uses it. Imagine if every country had their own unique signage, road markings, right of way rules, etc. You would have to study and relearn everything every time you drove somewhere new.
Furthermore, nobody can explain why having UI “sameness” is a problem at all. Why should UI theory be re-invented from scratch for every app and website? Isn’t it better for them all to use a common visual language so users can jump into them intuitively and focus on getting tasks done rather than learning thousands of different UIs?
