ANSWER TO THINKING QUESTION:
I linked that kids game there because I wanted to emphasize the fact how society feels the need to differentiate people into categories. How they like to pick out the differences and similarities of others people when they don't see that they are all the same. Therefore in this case scenario we choose shapes that are the same colour and same shape while we neglect the shapes with the same shape but different and vice versa.
