Is it normal to want to test racism in animals?

My black cat loves fried chicken.

I think it would be a neat/strange thing to find out.

This story disgust me a little bit.

Don't you think there's already too much racism in humanity to pass this curse on to animals?

Human = animal. Now that thats said other animals are not smart enough to be rasist and we are stupid enough to be...

If you painted the black bits white and the white bits black there would really be no change at all would there

My rooster only attacks dark skinned people, so I'd like actually like to see that experiment.

That could be fun, the shouting at the cows part I mean.

We have some cattle of 2 different breeds, the only real noticeable different between the two is color, black/white and brown/white. They really do segregate while in the pasture, and while in close quarters the brown/white ones are bullied big time.
I'm fairly certain that they can't easily distinguish the color difference, but they definitely discriminate.

Nazi cats would be awesome! Chasing and killing all the nasty black cats.

I love black cats and I'm white

I bet animals are racist. My big male rottweiler barks aggresively everytime it sees a black person.

My dog always takes a dump right outside my asian neighbours house :/

Sounds like a good idea,lets try it out.

Racism is actually neurological. It is natural to be afraid of the unfamiliar,it triggers an amygdala response in the brain. There are people more prone to being Racist such as an over active amygdala. It is only through constant interaction with people of all race groups can a person overcome the amygdala response of fear.
Even if a person is taught to not be a racist there may be an unconscious form of racism; such as being too nice or mean without knowing it to a certain group of people.

A common phrase is they all look the same. This is because the racial features of the face are too unfamiliar to notice.
People that more cultured or well socialized show no response of fear or bias in MRI research studies. They can detect features of others even if that person is not in that same race group they belong to. They often have higher fluid intelligence too.
People that identify as being racist have underdeveloped frontal lobe sections of the brain. The amygdala is often over active and fear response doesn't process as fast to the rational part of the brain as normal individuals do. Scientist are unaware if these traits are purely environmental causes of racism such as restricted environments or if genetics have a part in it too.

What ever the case may be racists are annoying,they literally lack intelligence. They should be treated as any person with a mental disorder; don't take what they say to heart, they have issues.
