Fear is not a choice, nor its area of manifestation; thus racism is not.

Wow, I guess your saying that makes it true, right?
Of course fear is a choice! Behavior is a choice, just as is inaction. "Feelings" aren't real things. You can't map dna for socially held beliefs, because they would have to be universal rather than societal, which they are not.
Anyway, stay in your little hole clutching your gun and swearing that YOU can't do anything about being a racist, I'm sure you're right. I can do better.

How come I'm scared of spiders then? I sure as hell don't choose to be!
Or vertigo sufferers? Maybe you should try telling them to snap out of it and send them up a ladder
A genuine fear is not chosen, I think what you're refering to is an intolerance
Most racists are intolerant of other races which is of course a choice
