Legal racism has been dealt with and schools teach students that racism is bad all over the west. Apparently this is not enough as there is this fuss about racism in the western world.
If we go further fighting racism, what are those effective interventions? Can we even trust that current relatively good situation will continue? Is there any way to reliably export western anti-racism?
Racism is passed from parent to child. Taught. It isn't a phenomena, nor can a school cirriculum undo what is taught at home.
Of course there is.
It would be truly astonishing if there wasn't.
Finding it might prove hard, though. And anyway, so what? If we did find those neural correlates and genetic components we'd... do what, exactly? Invent a pill, a therapy?
In the meantime, we can rationalise simply that xenophobia is destructive, and we can determine effective interventions.
Should we tackle what our understanding currently allows, rather than waiting to uncover an explanation?
