I do not think for a minute children have to be taught to hate and fear...or at least to gang up and bully other children based on the color of their shoelaces or whatever; it is pretty innate. Perhaps particular groups of their parents' preference..we were taught to fear Protestants and especially Masons...you don't have to hate and fear someone in order to want their lunch money but after you take i t out of sheer greed or feeling of entitlementor desperate circumstances then they hate and fear you and whatever features you have get generalized to otherws they will also hate and fear..one red head bullies you you hate and feao most redheads...one person in a wheelchair runs over your feet you believe on purpose you hate and fear pepople in wheelchairs..prejudices are very easily formed and have survival value or we would not acquire them without a huge amount of effort. mg
