I think most people probably do have an "in-group" bias to some extent. That's not even just with race though, it's with literally everything. You'll have "in-group" biases based on what you're interested in.
I do think "racist" should remain a strong big word that's used for actual acts of discrimination, believing in "facts" of racial difference and violence based on race. I don't think merely gravitating towards people who look like you first, but still being open minded to people of different races, is necessarily racist.
We shouldn't be watering down important words like "racist". When you're constantly bitching about things you deem "racist" that are not really racist, nobody is going to take you seriously when you actually are victimised for your race.
To add to that comment as well, I'm tired of people making racism just about white people's bullshit and letting everyone else off the hook.
People are not that different, even people of "different cultures" (and "culture" is learned anyway, not inherent). Let's stop acting like only white people are racist and tribalist. There's fuckers with attitudes like that in every race and it's just as stupid when they do it too.
Is everyone a little racist?
