Intrinsically.
***** They also believe they are a priori "superior" to other
races. They believe in an hierarchial racial structure in
which "they" are at the top. Insecurity is a fundamental
aspect of the racist thought process. If they were really
"superior" why would they have to be so vigilant and
authoritarian in keeping "lesser beings" in their place? If
there were a natural hierarchy each being would just be in
their place. racism is a fundamentally flawed style of
thinking.
