I suspect a lot of them are not very bright, either, because skin color as a litmus test of superiority is as stupid as using hair color or eye color or any number of other physical attributes that have nothing to do with one's mental or physical capabilities.

It is so sad that this is so true for so many people:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson
