Why do People Racial Discriminate?

Question

Please give a good answer with thought if possible

Answer 1

Because they don´t understand that in the end, we are all the same. Its just that we are born in different places and our gene´s had resons to adjust our bodies to the different local circumstances. People who don´t understand this, usually are really insecure about them selves and therefore attack other people.

Answer 2

Because humans, all humans don't like things that are diffrent from them. We tend to hate things that we don't understand or fear or what we feel is diffrent from us. Take the salem witches for example(i am not saying i believe in them) the were excuted just because the majority of the people were diffrent from them and they feared them so the only thing they thought they could do was to eliminaate them. When the Lord Jesus Christ came, they crucified him because they feared him and felt that he was different from them. When the white men saw the africans the enslaved them because they were diffrent and less powerful. Maybe if the Black people were more powerful the black people might have done the same thing. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

It's very simple. Everyone wants to be superior to someone else. We are all in competition with each other for limited resources. Everyone wants to be on the top rung. No one wants to be poor and hungry and struggling. Everyone wants to win, to be the best and reap the benefits of being top dog. One way of achieving top dog status is to empower yourself by aligning yourself with a group that elevates the rights and privileges of its members above the rights and privileges of others. This involves promoting your entitlement to limited resources over the entitlements of others because you believe they are less deserving or inferior to you. You are essentially saying that their lives are not as valuable as yours because you are better and you deserve more. In other words discrimination. And that in a nutshell is why people discriminate.

Answer 4

Maybe they were brought up with discrimination being the norm for example, in school or home.
Or maybe its because they find some peoples cultures strange and cant understand them, so they discriminate agaisnt them.

Answer 5

Ignorance. People who discriminate are mostly ignorant about those they discriminate against.

Answer 6

They don't. They racially discriminate.

Answer 7

i think(and this is just my own thoughts) that people that does this is just a wanta be
they want to know and can't ask things to find out thats the real matter to any kind of qieation so they call out nasty things to others and can't find out the real truth about the other people.
i hate it when this happens and people can't respect others.

Answer 8

Pride with plenty of superiority complex.

We forget that we all belong to the same race - the human race

Answer 9

It's in our genes to chose those like us as good and those not like us as bad. Also, at least here in the USa, certain groups commit crimes of violence at way higher levels than others so it is wise to avoid them unless you really know them from other social settings.
