i could care less if you think it is a leftist attitude. political parties are a human concept. Also if you had taken time to read the posts between bogan and i , the explanation of how it is inherent in everyone has been explained. Racism is but a word, and behind the word is the psychological aspects of it. Humans are and always been territorial. Ancient humans disliked differences and strangers, which is the beginning of racism. Differences in the same tribe could bring harmful mutations, in strangers, they brought disease, war, stole territory, Resorces , and so on. The only thing different today is that racism has evolved into different cultures and different reasoning. So regardless if racism is but a recent term, the roots go back to when humans began reasoning.  @ZeusAres42

Racism, on the other hand, specifically involves prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against individuals or groups based on their race or ethnicity. While tribalism may contribute to the formation of racial biases, racism encompasses a broader range of attitudes and behaviors that are specifically targeted at individuals or groups based on racial characteristics.

Big difference @maxx. And you even said it yourself; racism is but a word. I of course can't stop you from your language f*cking nonsense and if you so wish to conflate the two then that is your choice. Won't make it true though.

racism is or was not something that suddenly popped out of thin air. It is also not discrimination because another group is inferior; it is the "belief" that they are inferior. Look at the logic. Back of racism is discrimination of others because they are different than uis in some way or the other. These difference; now world wide, began in ancient humans as i have shown you in my previous reply. Surely you accept the fact that differences have been with humans since ancient times? I have also shown asto why these differences were shunned, avoided, and discriminated against. Do you disagree with as to what i wrote in my reply? Racism is based on fear of others because of these differences, fear of change, war, resources, beliefs, diseases, and many other problems associated with strangers. Anything that has been with humans for a million years is genetically passed on. Racism is a survival aspect, and today we just do not see it as such.  Survival of the species is passed on and anything that threatens it is passed on. As for links, as for the years i have been on this site, i find that people disregard them. Racism has evolved into what it is today, and if you ask as to why one is racist,  they will simply give reasons, not understanding that their reasoning is based on distrust, and differences.  Humans have had this fear of differences in others since they began to think. @ZeusAres42

Most of the time, in fact, wrongly, racism is assumed as an element of natural or innate human behavior. It is, on the other hand, not a simple biological determination and does not fit at all into a simple evolutionary theory. While human history and psychology are pointing toward tendencies of in-group bias and out-group bias, it is by no means sufficient for explaining how such tendencies have translated into racially discriminating practices in complex and multifaceted societies around the world. It is not a fixed aspect of human nature that makes up today's racism, but rather a construct that is institutionally tediously developed and perpetuated tediously through social norms, cultural practices, and economic systems.

This assertion that human biological occurrence is at the base of racism is an absolute ignoramus on the powerful role which cultural and social dynamics play in determining racial ideologies. As a matter of fact, scholars like Nell Irvin Painter, Ibram X. Kendi, and geneticists like Adam Rutherford, among others, have gone on to establish the fact that there is no basis, genetic or biological, for such kinds of differences among races. By contrast, historical and contemporary shifts in racial categorizations demonstrate that racial categories are fluid and arbitrarily determined constructs that illustrate fully the way in which power and social institutions engage in the construction and maintenance of racism.

While evolutionary psychology brings into play human tendencies of tribalism, group preferences by themselves don't unequivocally lead, in the evolved basic cognitive faculties, to the complex racial hierarchies that are prevalent today. The leap from simple in-group preference to systemic racism is made by cultural evolution and social construction, not by biological determinism. The same is proved by works of such researchers as Henri Tajfel and Steven Pinker, which claim that even if humans are to have a certain tendency to label others within, explicit forms and expressions of racism are, to a great extent, a subject to be generated from social influences and historical contexts.

Despite the enormous change in the social and political scene, it seems that racial ideologies have great resilience in adapting during their process of evolution to further maintain power hierarchies and systemic inequalities. This adaptability has reflected that the core structure of societies has definitely changed, and thus the idea that racism is unchangeable or something static within human societies is challenged. This provides further evidence of the difficulty in removing racism, since such disparities continue within societies that have gone through legal and political reform.

These demonstrate, through the lens of history, human capacities to recognize, challenge, and change oppressive structures rather than being a part of human nature one cannot change—from abolition and suffrage to the civil rights movement and the breakdown of apartheid. These points underline the dynamic possibility and importance of collective social change in action to confront and overcome racism.

The interplay between them, and the interrelationship of human tendencies with social construction and historical development, can never lose sight of the fight against racism. It, therefore, would require an approach that explains racism not only in its manifestations but points towards its psychological, cultural, and structural underpinnings.
