You may not like it, but racism is simply a derogatory term used to describe what in most cases is a natural inclination. Both animals and people typically give preference to their own kind, that is simply the way the brain works, probably to assist in the continutation of the species.

Their own kind? The human race is a singular 'kind' and mankind has supposedly risen above animals. In this case, animals are color-blind, so perhaps it is the racists have devolved.

Endogamy is marriage within one’s group; exogamy is marriage outside that group. Both strategies have genetic advantages: endogamy supports the passing on of good genes, while exogamy makes less likely the passing on of bad genes. Without endogamy, speciation and evolution would be impossible. Within a species, however, exogamy supports robust health.

MGM seems to be an endogamist; this should not be confused with racism, which is a belief that one race is innately superior to another.

Good one. Thanks.
