Some do it because they simply are racist and disgruntle toward anyone unlike them, while others do so because they believe they are making harmless fun and may not realize they've hurt someones feelings.

∙ 10y agoThe idea of discrimination is deeply-seated in the human need to socialize. Genetically, we are programmed to create social groups. In this, we naturally fall into what are often reffered to as in-groups and out-groups. In other words: You start to have little mental flags stating that one person is part of the "in" crowd, and another is not, or is "out". These are rather natural, a part of deep-seated group psychology. Because learning in-depth information about a person takes time, and that time could be spent with an out-group member to learn of this personal information, we tend to use visual or easily learned informational ques: skin color (aka "race"), hair color, body type, gender, surface personality, likes/dislikes, speech patterns, and many more are quickly-seen markers that humans use to tag "in" versus "out". These are, in general, inherently shallow reasons to judge someone, and as such the unique feat of humanity; namely the ability to think hypothetically and outside of a egocentric (in other words: your viewpoint) frame, lead us to realize that this is an unacceptable way to think of people. However, unless people are taught to think exocentrically, they will never consider this, and so they make fun of "out" group members for these features.

What does it mean to say that race is socially constructed?
Race distinguishes people by their physical appearance (skin tone), while ethnicity distinguishes people by their culture- what they "share" with others (i.e. language, religion). Race and ethnicity are socially constructed, which means that they are only apparent because of how people view others. Race and ethnicity are created by society as a way to create generalized assumptions- labels. They are used because they are distinct markings- people can easily be grouped together by their similarities and separated by their differences. Even though race and ethnicity are socially constructed, people do not always have the ability to choose their race or ethnicity. This is because race and ethnicity are not random. They originate from geographical location.
