My (unlikely) theory on why humans are so racist.

Humans have an innate desire to find meaning in life, and one of the best ways to do that is to create and share stories about our lives.<br><br>It's really easy for us to find meaning in stories about a group of people who are the 'chosen ones', who have a special destiny that was given to them by their gods, or who are superior to others. It's also really easy for us to find meaning in stories about a group of people who are the 'underdogs', who have been wronged by their gods and are fighting against their oppressors, or who are inferior to others but are trying to do better.<br><br>In this way, we are able to find meaning and purpose in our lives by sharing these stories about ourselves and others, and we can easily do this in a racist manner by choosing to only see the good or the bad in our own group and others.<br><br>This is not a new concept, it's actually the main idea behind the concept of "original sin" in Christianity. The idea is that we all have an original sin inside us which makes us want to act badly and do wrong. The main point of this concept is that we need to have this in order to have free will and make moral choices.<br><br>It's a pretty common idea across most religions, that humans are flawed and we have these flaws that cause us to act in a certain way, or have certain feelings and desires. The main point being that we have to have these flaws in order to be able to have free will.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>This concept has been around for thousands of years, and it's not a new idea at all. I'm just stating my theory here that this is one of the main reasons why humans are so racist.<br><br>**tl;dr** Humans have an innate desire to find meaning in life, and one of the best ways to do that is to create and share stories about our lives, in a racist manner.
