Is there any proof that racist are may have a genetic mental problem?

Answer 1

Maybe not genetic, but definitely mental, and definitley a problem

Answer 2

I suppose that could be possible, but I'm more prone to believe that racists were raised by racists. Other racists became that way due to peer pressure.

I think that extreme racists have a mental problem--but I wouldn't be so fast to blame it on genes.

Answer 3

I don't think it's genetic, I believe it's how they are raised. If a child hears nothing but negative about a race, then that's all they know. However, when the child grows older and sees things for himself, then it may change the outlook.

Answer 4

Racial hatred, like any strong opinion, is formed on previous experiences of themselves and influence from others.
Place a four year old child in a rooom with every skin colour on earth and he will play with every child the same with no prejudice or favouritism.

Answer 5

No, they don't have a genetic mental problem necessarily. They're just ignorant. You know, they just don't know any better and they have difficulty learning. It's up to us to help them.

Answer 6

No, it is as proven, an individual that has been exposed to the environment of racism usually becomes one. Some people have to look to blame different groups for their own misfortunes. It make them feel that someone did it to them and therefore justify their bigotry.

Answer 7

I have a theory that it is related to some pathological source.
Lack of empathy perhaps, but I have no proof.

It's still just stupid, though.

Answer 8

no, this is a nurture not nature problem
