I too wonder where racism and other forms of prejudice come from. I've always presumed that it's a matter of rejecting the other in favor of the self and the like.
Also, have you ever noticed how many people are prejudiced against poor people and how many people excuse it? Because, after all, poor people are OBVIOUSLY POOR BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN LAZY FAULT.
