I think pride led them to be unable to see anyone else's point of view, for instance.
There are also academic theories that are involved in racism that I am no expert on... You would have to ask others who study these issues...

But, the people you know who are supremacists or think they are superior, to me just do not get out much, really. If they did, they'd find their little world very restrictive and ignorant in the grand scheme of things.

And even if they are veterans who fought wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to have that mentality still, silly...

Sounds like they are compensating for something...
