    Why don't you take the time to provide your sources?

    Why do I need to scour all of the existing literature to verify a claim that someone else made that I feel dubious? It's on the person who posited the initial claim to prove their claim.

    After all, my tribe, which is a Native American tribe, hates people that are not Native Americans so much so that if they have a good reason to believe that somewhere back in your genealogy, 150 years, there's a drop of white blood, you're considered a white person.

    So I have lived experience that throws some shade on the claim that all racism springs from capitalism because my tribe is not capitalistic.

    Can you prove me wrong with verifiable external sources?

    Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race or ethnicity over another.

    That is specifically what I am talking about. I don't know what you're talking about.
