If one lives in a society where one is the supremacy according to that country`s own laws and policies, it seems logical that one would have racist views towards others or the feelings of superiority. When I lived in Israel years ago, the racism was obvious towards Arabs, long before there were polls. I found it contemptible then, and even more so now under the guise of Israel being this wonderful democratic society while continuously pointing the finger at everyone else. Racial profiling at airports has been going on for decades. This is nothing new except those things were not really known as the world did not have the technology as it does today.
