you are totally clueless. like creatures favor like creatures becauses its a basic, genetically innate function of survival. any animal exhibits these traits... not just people. we're not going to change 20,000,000 years of genetic programming just because some clueless tard with a dream decides everyone is wrong about what they are and has a simplistic and backwards idea of why we are what we are and hwo we can change it.
"racism" is a loaded word where the meaning is continually twisted and contorted to mean anything the user wants it to mean.
if you define racism as showing preference to ones race over another, thats not something that will ever go away.
if you define racism as the idea of thinking one race is inherently better than another by some measure (be it right or wrong, rooted in fact, myth or ignorance) then that is not likely to go away ... it will always be a question of degrees.
if you define racism in the "deep south, cousin fucker" common usage of the word where one insists one race is inferior to another - i.e. "blacks aren't as smart as whites" or whatever... thats a behavior that relys on ignorance to survive.
at the end of the day, if i put you (assuming you're white) in a football stadium with 75,000 black people - you will feel FAR less comfortable than you would if it was 75,000 white people. the same could be said of any race in this situation. that preference or uneasyness doesn't have to come from a bad place you know... its just programmed into us as a basic survival mechanism. most cultures and societies and religions and social groups go to great lengths to distinguish themselves from others through language, dress, traditions and cultural traits and identify as groups... saying thats not true is silly beyond words. and likewise, they all are more likely to show preferrence to like people (same dress, culture, physical traits, language, habits/behaviors). its a safer place to be and your chances of survival increase dramatically.
