The word is spelled racist...because it pertains to race not rase. And "people" are not racist..."some people" are racist.

It’s not a question of colour but financial status. Poor people are more likely to steal. In the USA the rate of blacks is high among the poor. This can be the reason, I guess. Well, in my country many more white people steal.

The people who are consider royality or in the upper class lived in castles, and have servants. They wear bright colors to show that they are rich, and they also wear jewlers.(which is not to common for lower class people. They would have tutors come to their castle, and they will have dancing class, and others...... And of course, you wouldn't have to do any work, cause u got servants..

Because the extremeists are the ones who get all fired up over political issues. The rest of us have a life.

I think the previous answer sums up so well why class-warfare works.  People want to believe it works.  Most of the wealthy in America aren't from "old money" anymore.  They made their money through hard work and determination.  And so many people who don't (or can't) do that want to blame everyone else.  So they look to blame those that are in a better state than they are.\n\nIt is the same with politicians who play the race card.

Because some people don't actually believe in material culture. Money is the root of all evil. When you have less, you are more happy.

Because some people are afraid of people that are different or look different than they are. Or they are just racist. Either way, people need to realize that it's just skin, inside we're all the same.

Plain and simple: people are selfish.\n\nPeople believe their way of life is superior than other ways of life.\nTherefore, if your race, religion, class, or culture is different from mine it is inferior.\nAs long as we live in a world where there are differences, there will always be prejudices, discrimination, hatred, and ethnocentrism.

Because people voluntarily segregate themselves.

Hello dear!\nThere several reasons.\nOne could be due to the great achievements of Masai people and civilization.\nThe other is because the people are not satisfied with what they are and feel.\nOne more is that they want to find out similar, different or opposite ways, they like to study, ..

To answer your question: It's because we all want our way.\n\nI think we like to argue because we sometimes think it will get us our way with others.

I suppose it's how extreme a form of their religion they follow. Look at the number of so called honour killings happening, where people have relationships outiside their social or religious background. It's rather worrying- i was watching it on crime watch the other night.

Many people fear the unknown (races different from their own), they don't recognize the fact that our bodies are just the shells of our beings and certainly don't define who we are inside, they're ignorant, small-minded, prejudiced, or racist.  \n\nOne thing that has always bugged me is when an ignoramous will defend racism by giving this example, "Look at the animal world -- dogs don't mate with cats.  They stick to their own kind."  But black dogs mate with white dogs or with dogs that look a LOT different from themselves.  As humans, we ARE sticking to our own kind -- our own kind just happens to be composed of all colors and looks (just like dogs).

This question has been asked a lot.  In general the answer is "we can't", there will always be people who look down on other people for not being the same.\n\nThe best thing you can do is not be rascist yourself, raise your kids to see everyone as equal, and don't promote rascism in any way.  The end result can only be that you've made it at least that much better.
