Are these scientists saying that while white dominated societies ARE ALWAYS racist by nature, societies dominated by non-whites CAN ALSO ( as in maybe, sometimes, once in a blue moon) be racist? I just find it hard to believe it's a world wide trait of all Anglo societies to be racist. I'm not sure if I completely agree with that hypothesis based on what I've seen in my travels( don't feel like getting into it right now). Granted my experience in the matter is limited to people from Latin America and the middle east, but it's been my observation that people see there own race, in general, more favorably than other races.
