Right, which came first? The bigot or the egg?

I think it has an awful lot to do with upbringing. People seem to generally soak up prejudices from their family and friends. There is probably an evolutionary element of fear of "the unknown", so to speak. But I don't believe people are born with a prejudice against certain groups. It doesn't make sense.

If the same people were born when slavery was around, they would probably have been fine with it. It seems somewhat natural to adopt societal norms, and even "accepted bigotry" within those norms.
