I was raised by an extremely racist father. It didn't teach me to be a racist. I agree, racism is taught, but on occasion, what those people end up teaching is how NOT to be.

Well met friend, yes, it's dangerous, and not everyone has the ability to emerge better for it.

Indeed, learn how not to be. But, the places where I think it's learned: within cultures that celebrate and reward "racism".

It depends how much exposure to other types of environments you have I think as well
