My opinions differ markedly from that of my parents and grandparents who were not all ideological clones of each other.

Heck, my current opinions differ markedly from the opinions I held various decades ago.

You might be right that we should have racist bundling of others' ancestors and relatives and ethnic groups and that is how chimps and atavistic humans treat each other.

While humans are like dog breeds with various human breeds having distinct attributes, people do have quite a large component of individual identity developed as they go from breast to adult with wisdom teeth and then onward over decades to sagacity and actual wisdom which is not found in teeth.

I don't buy your theory of suspicious mind-reading.

We can't even read a person's actual mind let alone the imagined inheritance not just from 2 parents but 4 grandparents as well.

Do you really agree with the ideology of each of your 6 parents and grandparents as well as your younger self? Have other people not affected your ideology?

At best a single grandparent would have at best about 5% of somebody's ideology. More likely 1% because individuals do a lot of self determination.

Count lapsed Catholics, errant Jews, not to mention your average 17 year old who very often finds their parents' ideas are bung.
