Yeah I'm pretty sure racism was mostly nourished by the rich in order to weaken labor and make money. There's always going to be some prejudice among humans, but the wealthy really leaned into that to profit.

It would have been uncomfortable for them if the poors of every background got together and acted on the realization that the rich don't even do anything, but live in luxury while we starve.
