Ages ago, among the most conservative crowd on campus, there wasn't a racist or anti-semite in the group. Heck, I married a Jewish CMC-er who is probably more conservative than me: "Three strikes and you're dead," says my wife.

Now among the more liberal Asians from Hawaii on campus, there were actual racists. The Japanese hated the Philipinos, the Chinese hated the Koreans, and they all hated the haoles. But we right-wing haoles were pretty oblivious to race.

It is my theory that Western Civilization is one of the first societies where racism is not an "accepted societal norm."

The ever so peaceful Native American's considered themselves "human beings" while whites (and others) weren't. Hawaiians and haoles. There must be hundred's of other examples...

I would love to see a well-researched and documented study on this topic.
