2. I'll name their tangible benefit for them.

I spent a certain amount of my childhood living on military bases and going to school hanging out with kids from various persuasions, before experiencing the tail end of a once segregated society, the latter of which (I'd concluded quite early) was founded upon pure, unnecessary bullshit.

So, having experienced a bit of both, I'd concluded very early on that racism, (if not race) was a phony ass construct, whose primary purpose was to create the bullshit fallacy that some people were inherently something less, while simultaneously creating the equally bullshit fallacy that certain other people were inherently 'all that and a bag o' chips.

So, the tangible benefit they derive from hating on some 'other' is living under the delusion that they're BETTER.
