Insider-outsider phenomena, we might not be biologically programmed to be racist but we do tend to exhibit groupism due to evolutionary reasons, hence favor some and repel others. It goes both ways- negative and positive.

Prejudices will always be present where there is a difference of any sorts. But acting on those prejudices and shutting off the logic results in discrimination or racism .

Familiarity gives a sense of safety , appeasing our survival tactics, hence the basic instinct to be around those which are familiar.
