That everyone is racist against some group.

@CrystalSkull Racists against a whole group based on skin colour?, or just generally prejudice against certain people within select demographics?

@CrystalSkull i have a feeling its not just people. We had a litter of 9 Doberman Pinschers, 1 black female, 3 black males and 5 red males. I noticed on many occasions that they would be segregated into two piles, one red and one black. ..and even when they were all stacked up in one pile, they'd still be separated.
I kept most of them and there were many fights over the years. It was always reds ganging up on the black ones.
I think it's natural to feel comfortable with what you're familiar with and maybe to surround yourself with people like yourself. I think the problem occurs when that mob mentality kicks in after maybe one person in the group had a bad experience with a person from another group and starts generalizing about everybody in that group and then it just perpetuates from there, back and forth.
What I don't understand is the term Reverse Racism. If I never knew what racism was and somebody explain to me what it was and then I heard the term reverse racism, I would assume that it was when somebody does good things for people of a specific group (other than their own group) solely because they're from that specific other group. If not that, at least it should do something counteract racism, not perpetuate it...

@CrystalSkull it could also have something to do with our position in the food chain.. I think if we weren't at the top, we wouldn't be in it at all because we're not the strongest we're not the fastest we're not the toughest, definitely not the fittest.. I wonder how how many other apex predators can be cut with paper LOL and I know none of the others need to wear any clothing in order to survive Winters or Summers without frostbite or heat stroke of some sort.
My point is that every other species has another species keeping its population in check basically every other species is some other species food. There's no other species that keeps our population in check so we have to do it ourselves with war and genocide. If it's something we do naturally then racism would fall right in line with that I think because it's so much easier to hate an entire different group than it is to cull your own population.. I have no proof or and I'm definitely not endorsing this notion it's just something that occurred to me. My belief is that since any pair of humans, regardless of their race can create fertile offspring, then there's only one race. It's the human race
You ever wonder why all the visual differences between humans is what draws the lines between races but with any other animal, the differences are called breeds, if anything at all. What did Darwin call the differences between the finches on the Galapagos I wonder. Isn't species the most finite classification according to biology?
