I'm a mistake - legalize abortion!:

Races and societies thrive because of this. Survival goes to the fittest and groupism is the best way to ensure that.

REJECTED - comment not racist enough. 8)
I wouldn't say that racism is a positive emotion or that it should, in any way, be encouraged in the modern society but like many sad truths about our world this is one of those: we are born with superiority and inferiority complexes. Some of these beliefs are the fundamentals of a human brain--a Psychology major would understand--some are ingrained in us by our family, friends and general environment. But the most important factor, in all of this, is really about who we want to be and how we approach life. Racism is actually a reflection of what we see in ourselves when we look in the mirror, in my opinion.
Because of the slow progress in terms of developing our mindsets and beliefs in the South-Asian world, the reasons for which are very evident and need not be rambled upon, our environment has never helped to reduce racist attitudes. For instance, there is a trend of marrying within your castes in the Muslims and Hindus, which has dwindled over time but not sufficiently. Even if you ask a very educated and independent family why they are so stringent about this, they would maybe argue that the customs of other castes are impossible to cope with, the society would never accept such an act and blah blah blah. Translation of their reasoning: I'm okay with studying for fifteen hours on a Science exam, but never have I pursued to change this very important part of my life.
Racism exists fiercely in other forms throughout the world, from Africans slaughterings non-Africans simply 'because' and people from different parts of China refusing to patch up. It's even worse in the Western world, and though government stability contributes to providing equal rights to all races and creeds, it's not always successful. Ever wondered why? Because racism isn't just a political and nationwide issue; it's a personal game. To accept all races are equal, and that the Chinese really are very healthy (hard for people with superiority complexes) and that they eat living snakes (hard for people with inferiority complexes). Sadly, these attempts to differentiate yourself, your race and your background are just indicators of a low self-esteem, a desperate mechanism to gain attention and find some meaning to one's life.
