answer:Actually no. I think most racists are racist out of ignorance. Its been built in their heads that a certain race is inferior, bad, etc… and its stuck. The reason I say this is because I think most racists learn their racism as they grow up. Their parents and/or community raise them on racism and it becomes an unquestioned assumption. There might be some people for whom the real reason is fear of the race becoming stronger, but I doubt your run-of-the-mill racist has such a motivation. Its also possible that if trace things back far enough, there might be such a fear, but thats not what I think drives most racists.
