If you live in a town mostly of your own kind that is where the racism lies. I lived in Simi Valley Ca in the 60's and I could count the black children at school on one hand and not even use all my fingers on that hand. If you are unfamiliar with a certain race and you see on your TV in white land all the riots in black land you get scared. We were probably fed the same shit in the news back then about the "survivors" and the "looters". TV influenced racism and TV showed the horror of racism. Racism is not just a black and white issue and any group that lives among their own find others who are different less desirable in some sort of way.
