Fair argument. I acknowledge that many cultures seem to be inherently racist, although it may be that this has often arisen when a mild instinctual xenophobia* has been exploited by unscrupulous leaders - and once in place is very hard to slogh off. Not yet convinced that this qualifies as a cultural fostering of jealousy and contempt.
