It is a fact that all Caucasians--even the most ardent and sincere champions of equality and human rights--secretly, perhaps even subconsciously, believe they are a superior race. The roots of this lie in the semantic outrage perpetrated when they first called themselves “white” on the basis of skin color—whereas, in fact, they are various shades of red (generally, pink)--and all the other races were called “colored”, thereby undermining their humanness. Only an albino can correctly be called white when referring to skin color. The intention then, was clearly to subliminally annex to the word “whites”, attributes, given by other meanings of the word “white” like pure, free from blame, chaste, fair, unadulterated, etc. This subconscious word association is the source, the primary stimulus, from which savages like the ones responsible for the recent racial attacks on Indians, derive their erroneous notion of superiority and their sense of having committed a crime, which could at worst, be described as cruelty to animals. This is also the root cause to which, the ideology of the KKK, and Nazism, can be traced back. The world has come a long way since then, humane and rational Caucasians (the majority), are trying very hard to battle racism, as is the rest of the world, but there's no way to shake this off, this 'a priori' belief of being the only race to be created entirely in “God's own image”, or in other words, "white", "pure", "unadulterated"--the "colored” races are too, only to a lesser degree, the poor sods--this conviction that is bred by the semantics of "white" and "colored". Another point of interest is the fact that gender bias is implicit in the racist mindset, and hence it is rare to find in women, instances of the rabid and violent form of racism prevalent among Caucasian men. Racism, if present among women is thus, more due to influence rather than innate, and confined to a fear or revulsion of other races, or at the opposite and extremist end of the spectrum, a perverse attraction when asserting their independence.

Unless we have a whole new generation of Caucasians who have been uninfluenced by this 'semantic error' and are able to see their skin color as pink--that is, as just another skin color like black, brown, or yellow--the racist mindset shall continue to persist in the underbelly of the psyche, even as humane principles take priority, superficially.
