Is it really racism, or a cultural clash? In many societies, people who share the SAME ethnicity or race, culture and language become embroiled in violent conflicts, vying for dominance. Look at Ireland's recent past where violent religious wars plagued the nation. Consider the ongoing strife between North & South Sudan, between North and South Korea, between Rwanda and Burundi, or between nations such as Saudi Arabia and Iran.  Race is not necessarily a primary issue.

Many people from nations in Africa, the Middle East and Asia choose to migrate to Europe, Australia or North America because they have immigration programs. 'Minorities' inside western nations may actually come from very large homogeneous populations so they form global 'majorities'.  For instance, China has 1.4-billion, India 1.35-billion and Pakistan 1.97-million people - are they really 'minorities' in the world? Burgeoning human populations fight over beliefs, traditions & resources far more than over race.
