I'd argue that in social animals, the things Peterson said about power hierarchy probably apply to tribes, as well. You will get entire tribes of people who are high on themselves because they're hitting nothing but net, and entire tribes of people who feel that they are inferior because they've lost recent conflicts.
There's not doubt that there's deliberate racism. I even doubt that all white people, when selling a house, would choose a higher bidder if they were black-- they might have "concerns for the neighbors who they always got along with" or whatever.
The reality of the situation is this: for the better part of the last 2000 years, the cultures that have really been succeeding in the world have mostly been white. Certainly, in the past few hundred years, it's pretty much been a white world.
But I'm pretty sure that legitimate challenges will be launched soon-- from outside by China, and from inside by minorities who realize that there are more brown people than white people (it's coming up soon!). Then we'll see what's what.
My prediction is that once the spell of invincibility is broken, white people will become a groveling bunch of sniveling cowards.
