First off a minor matter. Sabine Hossenfelder is a woman. She is a physicist, which is why she switches pretty quickly to a discussion of science.
While we may not be born with the basic prejudices we are born with an automatic bias in favor of our immediate group. Basically most of us imprint on whoever we first perceive as our caregivers. This is like animals who imprint on the person who is there when they are born and provides for their care and feeding. After that, at least for a while, we are uneasy about anybody else. This varies from person to person. Some babies will go to almost anybody, but others won't have anything to do with anybody except their immediate family. So Sabine's first statement may be slightly over done, but not too much. If you read the link she gave (the words "research says" imbedded in the second paragraph) you will find more information about just how being in the in group influences children.
The following quote would be subjective to having an awareness that wasn't in league with the statements made within the previous quotes.
It's actually the premise to enlightenment, in that objectivity is based on a larger perspective than any one idea being a rule, but instead being subjective to a particular thought generated while standing in identification with ones self and any one particular experience that can and will change, when moving thru different experiences and having evolving cognitive functioning and awareness.
I'm afraid I really don't follow what you are trying to say in that paragraph.
Basically what Sabine is trying to say is that we have a built in system that leads us to act in a prejudiced manner. So we really need to actively work at evaluating our beliefs and assumptions. She is speaking specifically in regard to science, but what she says applies to all areas of our life.
