It all bois down to minority and majority thats what people don't understand. My theory is that we could never be equal due to the numbers. if you take a half a cup of pepper and mixed it with three cups of sugar youd never taste the pepper. This is the metaphor of racism. But there is many forms of racism so this only explains part of it.

Thats the first time ive ever heard it put in that context an yea i agree with you 100%.
I also think that racism will never be overcome due to certain races harbouring resentment over the way certain races treated them in the past(not naming names) and i personally feel that as the white population have been forced over the years to revert thier attitudes towards racism, other races(again not naming names) have become the more racist majority and are without the intent of changing thier views.

i think you should test that pepper sugar theory, if you put 1:6 pepper sugar mix in a cake it would tast verrrrry peppery.
racism is based on a psychological need to belong, and the consequent desire to form an 'out' group in common between you and those you see as your peers.

Racism: two parts racial superstition (one part for ones own and one part for every other or one for each), one part ego (convinced of completion for self perfection), use parenting to split self in half and displace natural will for infinitely destructive judgment, ignore human positivity, add fear of own group. Whip into a frenzy then bake until insane. Impoverish then put blame on other race.
Perhaps you are correct in your assumption concerning the applicability of math to racism, but I think it would produce convincing results if you applied it to social-psychological economy and materialistic economics, e.g. Nazi Germany and the great depression. But of course there is class society and ownership status, e.g. owning somebody is high society

Billy Pilgrim asks "Why?"
Here says the Tramafladorian: "Why? That is such an earthling question. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber?"
"Yes", Billy said, he infact had a paper weight in his office that had three lady bugs in it.
"Well here we are Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why.
This corrsponds with my meaning o life that i figured out when i was 14 on February 11th of that year.
Life just is.

I thought your question was something more like this:
Asians > White > Feces > Black > Mexican
rather than the concept of minorities and majorities.
