Another thought-provoking and well-executed post but the problem that concerns me is that there is no distinction (in this article too) between racism and skin colour (or other different physical features). Different race does not automatically equate to different skin colour and I think it would be much more useful in the fight against all forms of prejudice if we could get definitive data on the reasons behind peoples prejudices then we could find the formula for addressing the problem.

The other issue is a perception of acceptability from both sides of the argument, what is considered acceptable or unoffensive to one, is considered terribly offensive to another.

Behavioural intent also come into play thus making the whole issue even more complex and difficult to define.

of course, if every human stuck to the Humanist's ethics of reciprocity, the whole of humanity's relationship issues would be solved!
