Just consider what I am saying before you get mad. Sure, growing up, children aren't racist. They do not recognize differences. But eventually, we start to grow and learn, and we begin to see differences in the world, taste, smell, feel, whatever. We begin to see that someone else's skin is a different color.
Aren't we naturally offended by anything different? If the grass all of a sudden turned blue, wouldn't you be uncomfortable? When you put your hand on a hot stove, you naturally pull away. If you are used to dr. pepper, and someone gives you coke, you wish you had dr. pepper? If you get used to the way your friend dresses or talks, you would feel uncomfortable if they changed their image and personality? If you look and see your skin a certain color in the mirror... isn't it only natural to feel uncomfortable around a different color? Most people do not like change, and feel uncomfortable around different or new circumstances.
This topic came up in one of my college classes.
