What is the root cause of racism?

[Anonymous]

What is it according to you.
And yeah everybody "Just because a person dosen't prefer to date someone of your race dosen't make him/her racist ok. I really think people nowadays judge if a person is racist or not according to this".
And also
"Also there are Asian, Black , Indian, Hispanic people who are also racist. No need to presume if someone is racist he or she should be white.

Jealousy and thinking that they are taking their jobs and stuff

The ultimate root cause is tribalism, in my opinion. We are pack animals, we tend to identify with and gravitate towards those who are the most like we are. Beyond that it's a combination of fear and ignorance.

Prejudice is the root cause of racism. There is hatred in racism, with a touch of fear and a whole side order of irrationality. But beneath all this lie Stupidity and Hypocrisy.

Differences in culture and differing cultures having to share the same homeland.

It all starts from thoughts.
