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 r****m 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 r****m or perhaps the bigotry (thoughts) project us into racial separations.??

I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't favor their own genetic line... But to the extent that they would discriminate against another genetic line?... That confuses me...

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

A beautiful story of self awareness and choice in what you knew you lived and wanted to better it all.. Sound traits that formed from your environment..
You really didn’t need to tell me this about you, Mike.. Your demeanor shines often in here and your heart displayed often enough.. I have no doubt you are anything but what you shared here.. Perfect just as you are and a blessing to many..
I think when any of us really look at whom we are we understand it was our heart, mind and soul that formed the person and yes, our natural given nature that helps us blossom into our very own persona..Good and bad there’s always a choice (thought process) to better ourself... Our mind our best friend or worst enemy, or is that happiness and guilt go a long way in forming our unity with this life we love so much.❤️

As do I... So many scream r****m when in fact it is bigotry that causes so much more anger, judgement and hatred of other genetic lines.....Goes back to that superiority issue...(fear)
