I think that tribalism based on looks is natural. Everything else about racism was created for political reasons.

@BohoBabe I would go as far as to say that not only was it natural, it was once vital to the survival of the human species. Humans who looked like each other would travel in groups to confuse predators. But that's no longer a thing we have to do in order to survive, and many of us have lost that tendency.
Which is why I call modern racists unevolved.

@ItsMeMorgue Well if it's part of evolutionary biology, it's going to be with us for a much longer time. Industrialization is pretty recent in the history of the human species. But hardcore racism usually doesn't happen unless a society is both uneducated and the material needs aren't being met. Unfortunately, that's the case in most of rural America.

@BohoBabe Correct. People these days, instead of learning how to outgrow the animal instinct they inherited, are instead becoming radicalized.
