Discussion: Is Racism Innate or Taught?

Abyssy

Simple enough question, do you believe that some people are innately racist or are they simply taught to be racist? Discuss.

Mess, I don't think I worded this correctly. I'm not asking are ALL people innately racist, I'm asking: Are the people who are racist, innately racist or were they taught to act like that?

Taught to act that way, especially if they grew up in a racist community. I see it as a "mob-mentality".

Su-Barbie-A

Taught, that's how it started.

jomarr

It's taught or seen on the media or peers.

It's NEVER innate

Racism can be a result of his or her environment in growing up, the people he/she deals with.

Taught.

Shakira Stan

It's definitely taught.

Racism didn't exist until the trans Atlantic slave trade.
