I think everyone is racist,really, and those who think they are totally liberal and gender and race tolerant are not telling the truth. I think it is a tribal self-presevation instinct from long ago. We only like to deal with that which we are familiar. I have found in the most liberal gay world, very racist tendencies twords Blacks and Mexicans. Divertity is a learning process for letting go of fear of the unfamiliar. Many of our religious backgrounds want us to "stick to our own kind" in the subtext or actual text of the Bible. In Leviticus, it is forbidden for a jew to work on the Sabbath, unless it is to cheat the Goyim",yet in another chapter, we must treat a stranger as we treat our family"(sic)
We all have many constructs that influence our subconcious to look for sameness and safety that would never hold up in today's Constitutional Rights. The Bible itself would not be defended by the Supreme Court in a language of law.
