Why are white people racist?
<|assistant|>
White people are not a monolithic bloc and there is not a single answer as to why white people are racist. Generally speaking, the root causes of racism and prejudice exist among all groups, however, the systemic advantages and powers enjoyed by the dominant group lead to patterns of privilege and discrimination that can perpetuate racist ideologies.
