Uhm - how about the fact that up to about 50 years ago, or so, pretty much everyone on Earth was a racist.
If you need further proof - the "Good Samaritan" story. Jesus talks about a member of a different ethno-religious group behaving humanely, as if it was somehow shocking, or at least surprising. "Look - sometimes even an unclean, low-life scumbag, like a Samaritan can be a decent human being. That's why he's the 'good' one, as opposed to all those regular, crappy Samaritans."
