It depends on the state of your soul. Are you a rational autistic soul? Then racism is innate and to you, natural. Are you a subversive artistic soul? Then racism is not human and alien to you. It's unhelpful to think of humanity as anything other than soul grouping. You will find artistic subversives throughout every race and culture. They are the ones who create religion

Debatable.
Racism is definitely natural, but it is more so apriori system of judging danger, rather than a longterm.
Basically, after initiating contact with the individual, if they turn out to be a respectful and useful human, it is very unlikely you'll continue to be racist towards them

Despite support for evolutionary theories relating to an innate origin of racism, various studies have suggested racism is associated with lower intelligence and less diverse peer groups during childhood. A neuroimaging study on amygdala activity during racial matching activities found increased activity to be associated with adolescent age as well as less racially diverse peer groups, which the author conclude suggest a learned aspect of racism. A meta analysis of neuroimaging studies found amygdala activity correlated to increased scores on implicit measures of racial bias. It was also argued amygdala activity in response to racial stimuli represents increased threat perception rather than the traditional theory of the amygdala activity represented ingroup-outgroup processing. Racism has also been associated with lower childhood IQ in an analysis of 15,000 people in the UK.

That doesnt make any sense at all, racism is what holds communities, families, and society at large together. The war against racism is a direct bid to destroy social cohesion in order to facilitate the globalization of economic markets. A truly globalized market demands no community cohesion, that everyone be atomized and individualized so that mass consumption can be maximized and labor can be made as transitory as capital.

Let me formalize something normal people intuitively know: Backstab syndrome is when someone hurts you and removing the knife used to cause the damage might lead to more pain. But ultimately everyone knows that healing from a backstab means taking the knife out and healing. Getting over a drug addiction means stopping the drug.

Now if diversity is a knife, then getting rid of diversity by encouraging self segregation etc. is one of the first steps to healing.

So "you're already hooked to bad racists" is Not An Argument. According to racists, detoxing from diversity is ultimately good for society. So to argue against them you must argue diversity is ultimately good.

>b-but my colloquial quirky HUSTLE and BUSTLE multi-ethnic communities!
These don't exist outside of TV. In real life, people willingly self-segregate. In EVERY country that tries this, it just turns into people self-segregating. The ONLY times that this works is when people define EXPLICITLY borders and ethnic enclaves with strict rules for moving through territory that isn't yours (and harsh punishments for breaking the rules of some other group's enclave). This is, with very few exceptions such as Assad's Syria, done in spite of political power's attempts to continuously weaken these borders precisely BECAUSE it weakens communities, families, and society.

I think this is the answer.
Raise a group of multi colored children together like puppies (this is how I grew up), don't oppress them or give them any reason to turn on each other (I was raised in small schools and homeschooled), they will identify together as a tribe.
Tribal markers are:

The argument is whether or not there is a biological reality in race. Not what its implications are.
