@2a70c54d Racism always baffles me on a fundamental level of being nonsensical. And that's my problem. I want things to make sense and there's never any reason racism does. So I can list all the ways it's not logical but that doesn't matter when it too conveniently serves too many narratives for people who have no interest in rationalizing their attitudes. And are often, in fact, trained to exalt the irrational as an ultimate and unquestioned authority.

TL: DR It sucks and they're horrible. 

 @a763f0a6 Yeah, it's a combination of factors, I think. Mostly, what I've found is that people who are emotionally immature or who have poor emotional control tend towards racist behavior. There really is an intelligence component to it as well. I have yet to meet a genuinely and generally intelligent person who goes in for that stuff.
