Exactly. Racism is a misleading word because it's derived from race and what I meant doesn't strictly apply to race. But it's the word we're stuck with and so I had to use it. In my head, I was thinking of the origins of man when I answered the question and so "tribe" would be as good a word as any, even if those tribes are made up of people with the same genetic identity. Which, if taken to its logical conclusion (i.e. schisms within families themselves), could be seen as reductio ad absurdum.
IIN I think being racist could be considered a minor mental disability
