I dont think you can "beat" racism. I think its something that comes from growing up and seeing behavior you think is negative from a certain group of people.

Maybe some humans are not built to get along with everyone. We tend to like people who are similar to ourselves.

I havent seen many discussions about why people are racist. Clearly some of them are, and maybe we would be also if we grew up with their experiences.

I dont think you are born a racist. Its something society does to you growing up. Could be low emotional intelligence but seems like a bit too easy to explain it that way. Many very intelligent people are racists also, clearly.

    Thing is, most people don't see any behaviour like this. There was a study that showed 90% of Arabs portrayed in Hollywood movies over the past 50 years were terrorists or radical islamists. Media overblows criminality in regions with immigrants and outright makes up nazi propaganda of there being "police-less ghettos" in Sweden or Germany. Crime rates are the lowest that they've been in Europe's history, the reason why people don't like immigrants is prevalently because of concerted efforts by a group of people with a lot of money to create racial tensions that they can later politically exploit.
