So why do so many people look down upon different races being together? We are all humans! The only difference is where we were born and the things we were taught as we grew up. Why do so many Americans think they are superior to all the other races?

You question starts with a theological premise, but ends with a political one. You are mixing apples with oranges.
"God hath made of one blood all nations.", meaning we all have our origin in the One God. "Render to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.", means that we are to consecrate the nations in which we live so that we will become on "political" family as much as we are one in God's family.
By the way, "Americans" is not a race. It is a nationality. Many people do think America is a superior country. I cite the thousands of immigrants who come here every year.
Some countries are better than others, but that doesn't mean a person from a better country is any better than a person from a lesser country.

Look dont pay any attention to the jackass that answer previously HE SHOWS TO BE A BLATANT IGNORANT OF HISTORY AND ARCHEOLOGY. THere are plenty of evidences of the things that are told in the bible. The one more evident to our days is the very existance of the Jewish culture, customs and the city of Jerusalem. Plus the bible had shown to be accurate in describing the enslavemnet of the Hebrew poeple in Egypt and many other things that had guide Archeoligist in their quests for the past. If some people don't believe how the Jews were liberated thats up to them. As you know the Bilble exposes human drama and the realtionship of a God that reveals itself to the people he chose. Cain Killed Abel, they were brothers with the same blood. Jacob and Essau were opposed to each other from birth. THe Bible shows the dialectic relationship between good and evil. Jesus came to show us How to resolve the dialectic conflict. You have to take Jesus side on this but how many people really understand it?

um u answered it its what we were taught as grew up. Same reason u think that most Americans think they are superior. Same reason some people think that everything is racist rather it is or its not. Its the way we were taught as we were brought up. I actually had a black man i was working with once tell me the food industry is racist and he made this judgment based on "angel food cake is white and devils food cake is chocolate" What kind of person has time to sit and actually come to that kind of conclusion.

The same sentence is in the Holy Quraan.
Allah(subhanaho taala) says, that i have created you(all the human being) from one pair Adam and Eve and further made of you defferent races(not for superiority or inferiority complexes)but only to know each other and the best of you are those who are most obedient to Allah.
So we have to know what Allah have told us and where r we going to

Because we are. For one thing, we know that Bible speaks in a spiritual sense. The story about the Good Samaritan points out that even low-life Samaritans can do good work and become "one blood' with Jews.

His mother should wash his mouth out with soap for being a liar. Even better she should put him in a box with Pandora and never open it again.
