Also, a lot of 'racial' stereotypes within developing countries were imposed by the colonial powers. The Rwandan Genocide between the Tutsi and Hutu clans was sparked by a sense of racial superiority stirred by the German and Belgian colonists.

I mean, look at fucking India and Pakistan, before the British Raj, the Hindus and Muslims used to get on together and in fact, the Mughal Empire was ruled by a Muslim minority that was pro-Hindu and one of the empire's primary values was religious equality. Three hundred years later you have a Hindu country and a Muslim country frequently threatening nuclear annihilation over something as pointless as a spit of land in the mountains.
