I was referring to the biological and psychological factor behind racism.
Just because fascists and nazis use the idea in wrong way doesn't make Darwinism invalid.Everyone is subject to the laws of Darwinism whether or not they believe in them, agree with them, or accept them. There is no trial, no jury, no argument, and no appeal.
You can try and argue but this is the way people behave. The selfish gene.
Does it mean I am a racist? Hell no. It just means you don't accept the truth. If you refuse to believe, then it's your problem with reality, not mine.
There is no biological factor behind racism. Yes, you might suggest that it's genetic (or, more properly, evolutionary) in that it was of benefit to the survival of early tribal 'proto-humans' to be instinctively distrustful of creatures who were significantly different from them, but there hasn't been ANY biological evidence that different races of human beings exist today. Of course you get stereotypes arising out cultures, appearance etc, but in the genetic level there aren't much differences from a person of African or Asian descent. The 'Darwinism' you mention in this paragraph is pure ignorance because for it to fit the bill you have to assume that homo sapiens have gone through further evolution as different races, when in REALITY there is no evidence of this. Unless you can prove me wrong. And from my experience, it's the multicultural cities in the world that are the ones that flourish the most.
The selfish gene is a different thing altogether and it's out of context. People are more likely to survive if they make efficient use of the resources available to them ignoring their petty prejudices aside, and thankfully that's the way we seem to be heading towards.
Racism is better explained through the fact that it is a curse that is INGRAiNED into the human psyche from experiences/family background rather than something you are born with.
