Question

My wife *(question)* in my name, because I think she have this gigantic brain.... like me.... (hahaha)
Excuse my english... I'm a french man from Montréal!
Good day in your home!

Answer 1

No absolutely not.

Although some would call it innate, Sociologists and Child Psychologists ( I am a fomer student at Brock University's Undergrad Teacher's Ed Programme) that it is a perception, a way of seeing the World that is acquired either in the home or from wider popular culture (sociologists agree both) that it is something that toddlers acquire from their environment.

A sad reality, children really are the future!
kindergarterners or younger, don't care what colour their counterparts are and make no mistake although they are aware that they differ incolour from each other, young children know that there is no difference between them.

IF ONLY ADULTS WERE AS INTELLEGENT!

Gros bisses!

Answer 2

Recognizing differences in others is natural, it's a part of our evolutionary heritage. Racism, however, is a purely cultural phenomenon, and as such can be (and often is) overcome by individuals.

I must strongly disagree with the previous poster who claims we're all racists. We're all racists only if you dilute the meaning of racism to the point of meaningless. Such thinking itself employs the same irrational, inaccurate stereotyping of others that is the hallmark of racist thought. (Of course, I assume that the previous poster was including herself as a racist, so maybe she is.) It is political correctness at its hypocritical worst.

It's true that young children don't care about one another's race. But it's also true of mature adults. Other races are not to be feared, nor is one's own race (white, black or other) something to be "celebrated." What's important is that we're all human beings. (Am I being species-ist now?)

Answer 3

Yes. Just as is fear of homosexuals, fear of foreigners, fear of anything strange or new or threatening to change our stable lives. It's not only a human trait, it's the survival pattern of nature. In nature, the animal that is not cautious around something strange is the animal that's a carcass come next morning. Fear keeps us alive, and what is prejudice but a variant of fear? Most hatred is linked to fear. Run away, stay in your pack. Live. Thousands of years of recorded history haven't changed the fear that's ingrained in us, any more than it's changed our need to eat or breathe.

Answer 4

Yes and no. There is a desire for us to associate with others like ourselves, it's a tribal feeling and lies at the heart of our social natures. Some think that only those with a phenotype like thier own are worthy of association and are ignorant of the biology that undermines all of thier racist ideas.

Answer 5

Not racism per se. The fear of difference whatever it is. It usually manifests more in ignorant minds, but it´s not axiomatic.

Answer 6

Racism is NOT normal but it is a sin. God says that if you do not love your brother then the love of God is not in you. For God is Love and Love dwells in those whom love all his brothers even his enemies. For there is no peace without love of your brother. This also includes a woman or a wife.
(1Jo 4:21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
(1Jo 4:20) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
(Eph 5:25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(Col 3:19) Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.
All of us come from the samer daddy. the greatist Grandfather, Adam! The Greatist Grandmother, Eve! She is the mother of the living.
(Gen 3:20) And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
(Gen 2:21) And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
(Gen 2:23) And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
( Gen 3:20) And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
For this, a man shall not hate his wife for she is of his flesh.
And because she is the mother of the living then all men are related unto the same flesh no matter what race he is.
(Mat 18:35) So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
(1Jo 2:15) Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(Eph 5:25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Most people don't know they are doing it but EVERYONE does!!
I guess it is Human Nature, and I figure it will always be that way... as sad as that it!

Yes, it is common for man to be racist.

Answer 9

any discrimination among humans is abnormal.
