Being superior or rather thinking you are superior gives a sense of power.
We equate power with security.
We all want security.
More means better here.
But we dont see that by being this way we are creating insecurity.
Hence endless wars endless killing /murder in the name of a cause. The superior if its real has not manifested yet in human history.

Virtually all cultures at all times feel centric, or that they are the best. I don't appreciate your language or the way you pose your question, but the why is because as humans we take comfort and security in our cultural identity. It shows us how to behave and how to respond to others. Outsiders are seen as threats to that stability, and a defensive reaction is natural. We defend ourselves because we are afraid of others, and therefore feel superiority to ease our fears. It is an unfortunate reality of human nature. We see others as less than human at its most extreme, leading to some of the worst acts of violence in history, such as the Halocaust.

Cause they confuse been proud of their culture with been superior. Or sometimes they're just haters, u know? Bad education, ignorance.

People that don't know why have never felt like they were too good for certain situations. Like I think I'm too good to wash dishes, pick up poo, and wash windows. It's just to them they think that they are superior because of their skin color. I think that I'm superior because my bank account says so.
