The nature versus nurture argument concerns whether behavioral patterns are genetically predetermined or the result of environmental stimuli....

Is one born with the natural indicative believe that one's own genetic heritage is superior to others, or does such belief come from one's upbringing?

Human racism is "a consequence of intended economic strategies," enabling us to "keep others in a lower-status" position while traits come from perhaps our ancestors being a psychological trait. "natural" or "innate." So I would say we develop the traits that lead us to our then natural state of supposed superiority of others.

Bigotry follows more so than racism or perhaps the bigotry (thoughts) project us into racial separations.??

My wife and daughter will tell you that I'm overly polite and accommodating to almost everyone regardless of their status, creed, color or anything else. I hold doors for everyone, I block traffic at a light to let another car in and in general I just love being alive and enjoy life. In other words I'm a glass 7/8ths full. This was not taught to me by my parents but by having lived a life of ups and downs and realizing that everything too will pass. I have a slow burn rate.

They will tell you that my fuse is short when it comes to abuse of another person or animal. I will not tolerate that and become the GREEN HULK when I see it. So I think a lot of what we're talking about is how we as individuals develop with in ourselves. There are some people who grew up where I did and are mean as all get out and then why am I not like them.

I know the answer and think you can see it if you look at the left and right today. Mike
