Well...kind of. I think I heard about some study a bunch of scientists did, and they apparently found out that the phenomenon of 'racism' happens because of an ancient 'survival skill' hardwired into our genetic code; namely, the skill that identifies 'outsiders' beyond one's own group.

So some people's racism can partially be explained by that, but overall most people aren't inherently racist, even a little bit, unless conditioned to be.

No, trying to come up with justification for hating other humans beings is stupid. Arguing that it's instinct is stupid as you can overcome instinct.
Oh rly? keep your eyes open while you sneeze, i dare you. Instinct is hard wired into part of our brain completely separate from our cerebral cortex (creative thinking part) you cant over come certain instincts unless you cut out your "animal brain", and good luck living after that. Also you cant overcome anything happening in your sub conscience, because YOU WONT EVEN KNOW ITS THERE.

sorry but your post was just....wrong.
Okay, it's instinct to dislike others because they're different, it's part of the whole survival of the fittest thing, reject the outsiders. Does everyone on the planet go out and kill people of different race because of this? Yes some people do, but the majority of us don't, and even more of us aren't threatened by the fact that there are people on this Earth that are different. Thus you can overcome instinct.

everyone is a bit racist
even if only slightly and only against one particular country
everyone is racist in different degrees- casual, moronic, hateful, diluted to unnoticable levels, it goes on an on
mine is diluted- and only against a few countries
one of my friends is moronic racist
and another is just plain racist
basically all my other friends are diluted racist like me

Whether you like it or not, everyone makes prejudgments based on appearance, even if on a subconscious level. So I'm gonna go with a yes, everyone is a little racist.
