This is a study that was conducted a while ago, although it's still relevant. Race is very real. We may be able to get rid of racial hatred, but race will always affect our society in its thoughts and perceptions.
First thing they tell you is blacks aren't smart enough to make it without affirmative action and other government programs.
Why is affirmative action seen as just a "black" special entitlement policy? You do realize that every minority group falls under affirmative action, including women. Truth be told, white women are the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action, in case you didn't know...

Perceptions about race are all about one's interactions with the other race. While parents may be a factor, I think racism simply comes from one's personal experiences, not some preconceived notion put in someone's head. All stereotypes are rooted in a bit of truth. The truth comes out via experience. Eventually, with enough experiences, the totality of the circumstances molds a certain expectation when dealing with other races. How many times must one experience a certain action before it becomes evident that that "must be how they are?"
Sometimes prejudice is based on what one is "taught" about the other vs. personal experience.
A lot of folks base their beliefs about others on old-time stereotypes that don't make a lot of sense in today's world.
