What is racism? Would you consider a shy person's attitude towards others racism? Would you consider a cat's attitude to a dog racism? Would you consider people from a remote village who never saw any other people in their life staring at new person racism? Would you consider a tribe in amazon shooting darts to intruders racism? People are naturally insecure, and these insecurity will lead them to behave un-socially in many ways. We are all born racists, that's how our instincts keep us alive. We feel safe towards "familiar" faces.
