Humans for the most part are racist. I had the bad experience of being 50% of the Haole population at Waipahu, Hawaii in the 8th grade. Evey Friday was kill Haole day, so I get beat on on Fridays. I had a very large Samoan hit me in the forehead out of nowhere. He laid me out like a cartoon. I was flat on my back and wondering what happened for a minute. It happen right in front of the principals office. Not one administrator or teacher came out to see if I was OK. They had to see the crowd of kids taunting and laughing at me laying on the ground.
I was so happy when we move on base to Hickam AFB and we went to Radford high school and it was about 50-50 with Haole's. And the military paid a lot for their kids too go there, so the school had incentive to keep things calm.
From there we moved to Montgomery, AL and my high school was 60 or 70 percent black. I never had an issue and had several black school friends.
I understand racism on a personal level.
