    Race is a fiction. Race is taking arbitrary physical characteristics, like skin color or hair texture, and arbitrarily associating them with non-physical characteristics like culture and intelligence. Different cultures have different definitions of race, and what constitutes 'white' doesn't mean the same thing now as it did even a half century ago.

    Every animal is born with racism.

    How can an animal be racist? Especially the blind ones, or the ones that are all the same color.

    I think he means that all consciousness discriminates between what is like itself, and what is not.

    They are suspicious of others off the same kind that looks different or aren't a part of there group.
    (As we can clearly see in the animal called Homo Sapiens Sapiens)

    Racism is hate for no reason other then irrational hatred. Most animals simply don't do that. Or even have the capacity to do that. Animals are all about survival. They don't have time to develop hatred and stereotypes. They don't like other things only because they perceive them to be a threat.

    Actually it is pretty normal in the animal kingdom (at least mammals) and they go against anyone outside of there group. Read a pretty interesting book on the subject where they have tested on 30 different mammals.

    But is that because they hate them for no real logic reason other then a sense of superiority, or just because they might be threat. Because if it's the latter then it's not racism.

    They feel suspicion/hate because they are different, a good example is albinos they often gets left or killed.

    I agree with "suspicion" but I have to doubt "hate". I don't really know if any animal can really hate in the human sense.

    Racism does nor mean just hate against a group off something. Racism also means the act off judging a group because they look or does not act as your group.
    They took a two monkeys and put them together they where from the same region so the monkeys didn't know that the other where not part off the group. But then the other monkey started to hammer a rock on a nut, this system off opening a nut was not used in the other group. So now the one monkey started to avoid the other and showed aggressive behavior against it because it did something different not seen before.

    I can go on forever about what I have read in the book. One thing that they confirmed is that humans is born with racism and it has to be trained away or influenced away (in childhood).

    What is this book? It sounds like it might be interesting.

    It is in Swedish and I think it was made by an university in Sweden so you probably won't find it in any other language. But this subject has been widely researched so it shouldn't be to hard to find a book about racism in nature if you just do some searching.

    To deny that separate races exist is stupid. When it comes to race there are physical and mental differences. In fact when determining someones race skin color is not a big factor. For example Jews and North Africans are mostly Caucasoid.

    Even though both are "black" a Somalian has way more Caucasoid influence than say a sub Saharan African. There are real scientific differences between races. Humans are a species not a race. Anyone who wants a true scientific breakdown of race I suggest reading up on Carleton S. Coon an anthropologist and former proffesor at Harvard.

    Who saw this coming a mile away? A fascist who believes in Scientific racism. Does anyone even need to say anything about this post?

    Humans are a race in the species of homos (If i am not mistaken). What you are describing is differences in genes from different regions and are calling it races.

    Uh yeah, you are right.
    But still people with different genes aren't different races saying that would be quite retarded.

    Question: can you actually show me anything that supports the idea of scientific racism? Any proof? Bonus points if it's not from a Nazi source material.
