You're not born with racism, but you are born with a tendency to place things into groups and stereotype. You're also born with a sensitivity to skin color, so most the human groups your brain forms are based on skin color and race. When you begin describing these groups based on skin color, people you are around who are already racist affect your descriptions of the racial groups. Also, you look closer at people with different skin colors, and so you are more likely to notice flaws found in all humans. You believe that they are characteristic of only the race since you never notice these in people with a "normal" skin color that you don't analyze as closely.
