Now, as the lines become blurred the real issue becomes clearer... less intellectual people feel they need a "them" to hate and blame their short-comings on.
When you can't use something you've used before like the imaginary "race" bs, then it will be xenophobia, class, culture, etc...
It is an "I accept truth" vs. "I have no ego of my own" issue.
Some just need to create false issues so they can look-down on others so they can feel better about themselves. People like that don't do things that they can be proud of on their own, so they have to create them.
"Racism" is a symptom... it is not the problem.
