Oh man, you've never heard of racism between black people? It's quite something...

My friend of Haitian origin can't mention his family is from Haiti when he goes on vacation in the Dominican Republic!

Blacks from Africa hating on blacks from American countries because they're not true blacks...

Rwanda genocide...

The sad truth is that, at our core, we are still apes of different colors. Dumb, tribalist, warring, greedy animals, except the actual apes are nowhere near as fucked up as we are and I basically just slandered them.

Just look at Israel, the country made a safe haven for the Jews after the ww2 genocide doing a little genociding of their own now because they can. We don’t learn our lesson, ever.

Fear of differences is a defense mechanism that's perfectly normal in nature and that we must fight since, as you said, we're just animals in the end...

A lot of that is down to colonial meddling, though obviously not all of it.

Asian countries get in on this kind of thing, too. Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

Or being Korean in Japan... The funny thing is that anthropologists believe that the (non-indigeonous) Japanese actually descended from Koreans.

You can even just be an asian born elsewhere but that ethnicity and get shit talked by those native from said country. Doesn't even have to be between ethnicities.
