Recent research from the University of Sydney reveals that discrimination can arise from arbitrary similarities, such as the outcome of a coin flip. In a series of experiments involving over 1,400 participants, individuals were more likely to favor others who shared a random similarity, like the same coin flip result, even when no explicit group divisions existed. citeturn0search3

This challenges the traditional view that discrimination primarily stems from established group identities and suggests that our biases may be more deeply rooted in fundamental cognitive processes. citeturn0search6

Understanding that even trivial coincidences can influence our behavior highlights the subtle ways in which discrimination can manifest, emphasizing the need for greater awareness of our inherent biases.
