People Just Naturally Like Those who are Similar

I got into a little discussion with someone here over what so many like to call "racism". As I pointed out to him:

You can't seriously expect everyone to like everyone else; that's not going to happen. It's a part of human nature to like those who are similar to us, and treat with suspicion those who aren't.

And I'm right. You may not personally like that fact, but it's true nevertheless, and there is nothing objectively wrong about that.

What you say is true to an extent... Where the problem lies is this... Do you dislike just because of racial features?

@Convivial Not me, no. However, it is true that I seem to get along better with those who are more like I am, compared to everyone else. It just happens, it's automatic.

@Bel6EQUJ5 no, my thoughts weren't directed at you personally... Just an observation on your thoughts

@Convivial Well, I won't say that it doesn't happen, but I would safely bet that it doesn't happen anywhere near as often as it used to (like during the 1800's). "Racism" is the least of our problems right now.

@Bel6EQUJ5 i agree... Things are slowly improving
