Racism is highly heritable. This comports to the research, personal observation, and common sense.
The observation that it's not 100% heritable is obtuse. Height is only 60-80% heritable.
No it's not. It's not passed down in the genes. It's something you're taught. The people who provided someone's genes (parents) may frequently be the ones who teach them as kids. But, for it to be heritable would mean that the child of a KKK member raised by Freedom Riders would end up racist because it was in his genes.
