Not that other countries don't have racism, but American sheer dedication to it is impressive

I've seen some quite intelligent people being racist.
Imo the underlying cause of it is what in machine learning is known as Overfitting - pattern recognition amped up to the level it becomes incorrect

That sounds more like where stereotypes come from.

Sure, racism is a form of stereotype, but amped up to 11.

Only morons allow such stupid thinking to hit 11.

and yes, some "smart" people are absolute morons. "book smart" is a saying for a reason.
