YES. It is human nature to judge people, no matte how nice. We always tend to stick to our race for friends, but I mean mostly.

Yes, because we are all bought up on certain beliefs and thoughts and they will always differ, even slightly, from everyone else. The influences we experience from our family, friends school, workplaces play a major part in all this.
I do believe that we can learn not to be racist toward groups through education.

We are all predisposed towards a preference for our own race belief etc but we are only racist if we have no tolerance for other races and beliefs. Its sad and pathetic to think that we believe that ours is the only way !! Celebrate the difference !

I think so because there are things that a person of a different race could do (not saying that they would) and you could feel racist.

A study (see link below) has shown that most people have some degree of racism and sexism in them, even if they're not concious of it.
This DOESN'T mean that people secretly hate women or minorities. It DOES mean people (Americans at least) have a subtle preference for what's white and male, even if one isn't white or male. Weird.

yep. differences make us, well...different. Any creature is normally most comfortable with it's own "kind". Just look at the animal kingdom.

Yes, kind of. It's our nature to feel different about different kinds of people.
