Why do people become a racist?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

intresting, I've never been a racist, but i am becoming a sexist woman hater,
so i can understand both sides of the fence,
when you experience so many negative experiences with a certain group of individuals, (woman) and they all seem to exude the same type of behaviour... or 80 percent of them do... the hate and anger you have built up for those individuals needs to be let out somehow, so the next time you see one acting that way, your hate and built up aggression leaks out onto them.

now for lets talk about race...

although, i do think think black people and white people seem to have certain ways (this is fact, not racist)
i have never personally had a negative experience with black people and black people are friendly to me and never have been mean to me, so i think this is why i have never devloped any stereotypes about them or hate for them, because whatever stereotypes society has built around them, doesn't matter to me because they are personally friendly to me... and if one ever isn't friendly... i will jus think its the individual not the colour
...
so to some it all up, i think its due to negative experiences with said group, and that group treating you badly

In my opinion there are usually 3 common reasons.
1. They are a follower and are easily influenced by social media and companies that really just try to control how they spend their money. (Those companies influence people for their own financial gain regardless of how many people it harms.)

2. Their family raised them that way so it is all they know.

3. From their repeated personal experiences. For example, is one particular group of people treat someone badly and nobody from that group treats them well or defends them from the bad behavior of others from that group, over time, possibly over years, they will come to dislike that group of people based on many repeated bad personal experiences with them and a lack of good/positive experiences from anyone from that group.

Probably they feel better thinking they are better than someone else, when actually they have very low self esteem and they try to raise it by thinking they are better than others…

That’s something I dislike, I like black, white, Asian, Hispanic - All of these people. All of them have something to like or love in them, I wish people become more accepting of each other and we’ll live in a world without hatred.

Isn’t it wonderful that we are all different?

Totally Depravity-there is No Good in us:
-I do not the good, that I determined in advance to do…I do not, Do the good thing right before me even though I desire too.

BUT I do.. Do the things I swore I would never do…. And I enjoyed both my Doing and UNDOING….

Entitlement and empty headedness are essentials in the journey towards Racism. They bring on a contempt and an anger towards the individual (s) you view as your inferiors, which in turn may spout Hatred, another vital component of Racism. A productive feeding ground for this is a situation in which you have to interact with the supposed inferiors and feel threatened because they seem to be outshining you in some way.

Mostly a learned reaction to one's environment. For example, experiencing that a people of a certain ethnicity are more likely to commit violence, lie, cheat, or steal. In some cases, it's a learned response to books and media. For example, learning that an ethnicity has several times higher crime rate, much lower IQ score, and at the same time receives more favoritism by government and corporation.
