    Racism is one manifestation of this power differential since the power flows often break across racial lines. This is an inevitability since there wasn't *that* much mass migration before 500 years ago or so barring cases like the Vikings and Spaniards. And outward characteristics, all out of proportion to the tiny DNA changes that produced them, tend to set people on edge. It's a very ape-like way of looking at things and people.

    Sorry, but I am *not* on your side here, nor am i saying what you think or wish I was saying. Outgroups are always going to be underpowered, and race and racial characteristics have always been an excuse the ingroup uses to make an outgroup. That is racism in its simplest, easiest to understand form: creating an outgroup based on race, however it is the ingroup is defining race.
