Racial differences are more common in advance countries where they should be least expected, though there are campaign against it by "all" but it is still part of life of many.

The biological factor is parents. If a parent is racist chances are their children will grow up racist.

I think racism comes from a mixture of fear & ignorance. Many people are afraid of things they don't understand & if they don't try to learn about other cultures & religions, then ignorance makes them intolerant.
Live & let live, I say. I wouldn't impose my ideals on anyone else & wouldn't expect anyone to do that to me. I have learnt to accept that some people have different ideas & do things differently than I do. I do try to be as understanding of others as I can & am one of the least racial people you could ever meet.

It's all to do with passing on your genes . Land means food . The more people on the land means your offspring have less chance of survival . Rival groups of animals kill each other if the stray into the wrong territory . Humans are animals .

My dear friend
There is scientific evidence that we have more prejudice against our own race than to people of other races.
Look at wars. They usually happen amongst people fighting people of the same ethnicity? Do you see a country in europe fighting a country in africa? or do you see a dictator trying to get hold aof a country of different ethnicities? Not usually.

It's a throwback to our hunter-gatherer days. Primitive people defend their territory so that only their extended family can hunt and gather there. Someone with a different skin colour is unlikely to be family so you are hostile towards them.
Modern day racists tend to be people with something to hide. (Hitler had a jewish father).

People don't hate other people because they look diffrent.
Religion started it all and is at the heart of most racism today.

rob c --- religion is not the cause of racism during the time when black people were used as slaves nobody assked them what religion they were it was because they were a differnat colour not because of what god they worshipped !

Fear! Fear of the unknown and the misunderstanding of something. We as humans fear what we don't understand or want to understand.
