Racism is not a natural human emotion, it is a function of living in a divided society. Because the working class is forced to compete, both against itself in every country and against other countries, this creates unatural social divides between people.

The capitalist superstructure encourages this... for example, when there are job losses, the people do not say "this is because of exploitation, this is because capitalism is failing" they say "this is because of illigal Mexican labour which is competing against us" - and of course the media and state and so on have an interest in encouraged certain types of prejudice, so long as they do not create lynch mobs.

When people are not exploited, forced to compete, shunted around like cattle by Capital, then the motivation for false prejudice dissapears, and then we are left only with the human motivation, which does not exist - the things we all have in common are far greater than our differences.
