Nearly all the racism talk these days tends to focus on whites, and yet there are billions of people in the world who are not white, who exhibit the same patterns of behaviour as Wente talks about. The Asian nations has its so -called pecking order of supremacy, as does the black culture, as does India which is a whole case study in itself . In the Middle East it's part culture , part tribe , part religion , that produces racial bias. Western Europe always had a bias towards eastern Europe, even though the skin colour was mostly the same . Lighter skinned Italians from northern Italy, have always classed the southern darker skinned Italians as being inferior to them. You could go at this topic forever and discover that whites don't hold a lock on racism in the world.
