Why are white people racist?
<|assistant|>
White people can be racist for a variety of reasons. Often, they hold underlying assumptions of superiority or privilege that lead them to discriminate against or exclude people of other racial backgrounds. Some white people are also socially conditioned to be racist and may not even realize that their actions or words are fueled by prejudiced thinking. 
 
White privilege and cultural norms can also promote racist thinking. When a culture does not adequately challenge racial biases or inequities, the idea that white people are superior is perpetuated and can be accepted as the status quo. This can lead to discriminatory practices, exclusion, and racist attitudes within white majority spaces.
