Ignorance and/or low self-esteem. I think racist people often try to make up for their lack of confidence by bringing others down for something as random as race differences.

Racism is a natural human trait....probably from prehistoric times. It's nothing more than the inborn instinctive "fear of strangers". It's a simple as fear of heights. Instinct causes humans to see the world in terms of "them against us"..and if "they" can be identified VISUALLY, it's simple. Otherwise, we'll settle on a "they" who LOOKS like us, but is "different" in some other way there, the "good guys" and the "bad guys" all look similar)

Racism is usually triggered by Xenophobia, it manifeste by: fear of losing identity, suspicion of other group activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate these presence to secure a presumed purity.
