Proof that racism does NOT exist. Prove me wrong, please...?

Racism is just another example of the "us" vs "them" mentality. This can be seen in animals too. It is the root of wars and misery on this planet. "Blue eyes" vs "Brown eyes" or "democrats" vs "republicans." It goes back to the beginning of human existence (and probably earlier), when people (herd animals that we are) mistrusted anyone who wasn't part of their "tribe." This paranoia may have served as a defense, but it prevented human beings from seeing what the "other" had in common with them: their humanity. This tendency is manipulated in war time so that the "enemy" is seen as less than human. Of course, many people see blacks, homosexuals, women, Muslims, politicians, Christians, illegal aliens, hippies, criminals, preachers, intellectuals, etc etc as less than human.
