Answer 1

Holy ****, someone on Yahoo! Answers who isn't a racist! AMAZING!
But really, it's besically human nature to assume that anyone who looks different from you is "wierd", "stupid", "below you", etc. etc.
From that, you and extract many, MANY factors. Sorry I don't have specific ones, but I'm too lazy to :D

Answer 2

The same reasons that the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese exhibit extreme prejudice against each other. In particular, the Japanese and Koreans have an extreme racial hatred towards each other dating back to their Medieval period.

You've listed three reasons. Why not employ the principal of Occam's Razor and go for a simpler, single answer?

It's human nature.

Of course, suggesting that racism is unique to Caucasians would itself be racist.

And of course, it would also be human nature - just in case you were concentrating on something more complicated and pretentious than just being a human being.

Answer 3

I am married to an Asian woman and am an American citizen who is white. We have felt very little prejudice regarding out relationship from either whites or Asians. My wife's family is very prosperous considering the struggle they have had to do business in English, it is very hard to learn if you speak an Asian language. If you are experiencing some sort of difficulty in life you should examine yourself and quit inventing a new type of prejudice
