So we agree that racism can be a motivating factor and not just one that causes people to blame others for their failures, excellent. As to the contrived part, well, I think that same way. I don't see it as deliberate but rather something that comes to us naturally and therefore we need to make extra efforts to squash because it is so interwoven into our institutions due to us trying to pretend it wasn't there.
