Everyone is a little bit racist
Do you think that deep down, no matter what race, everyone is at least little bit racist?
My thoughts:
Yes, of course we are, though racist's probably not the right word - prejudiced is better. People tend to hang out with people who are like them, and that goes for physical appearance as well as in terms of interests and personality. It makes sense on a biological level that we'd be tuned to do that, as developing clans and tribes is a sensible way to protect genetic data and be able to procreate with a set of similar people/animals/whatever.
It's something that it'd be much better for people to come to terms with rather than attempt to fight against. The pie-in-the-sky attitude that if we all group together and try hard enough, prejudice won't exist any more, is naive and incredibly annoying.
