Racism and sexism is not natural. It's socially constructed.
Thanks to the mapping of the human genome we have determined that race is not biologically real. It exists solely in our minds. There is actually more genetic variation within a race than between races.
An isolated person will not be racist or sexist. period. It's learned behavior. You have to interact in a group in order to learn how to be racist or sexist.
