True, but with some qualifications:  I know a number of people, of many different ethnic backgrounds, who have had an upbringing which bent them to be racist ... but I have seen many of them put themselves in check, whenever they "discover" that they are being racist.  And in many parts of America, and the world, if she was ugly and white, she would have suffered the same kind of bias.  Racism is not just a "white" problem.  I'm a half-breed, and I find myself being biased against anyone who plays the full-breed (of any race) card.  "Lucy", the ancient woman's skull found in Africa, may possibly be the only full-breed that ever existed.  After her, everyone couldn't help but to be a "blend" of something.
