What do you think drives someone to be a racist?

Usually parental, or some other familial, influence. My oldest brother is a hardcore racist, he got it from my mother, a casual racist, as well as my Dad's mother and little brother, who both are a bit more than casual. No one really knows where my paternal grandmother got it from, her parents were strong supporters of civil rights, as well as my Dad and his father as well. The day before my Dad shipped off to Air Force basic, him and his Dad participated in a Civil Rights march in DownTown Portland in 1965, alongside my Great Grandparents.

@NativePortlander1970 I think that it could be influenced by social groups and a want to fit in as much as parental or familial. Most youngsters rebel from what their parents suggest, lol.
