I was just contemplating that suppose our default skin pigment was blue and there was a minority with green skin tone.....

After all our biases are essentially WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and seem to be associated with the reflex arc rather than serious introspection.

 

Your thoughts...(provided the moderator doesn't find this post scandalous).

Since the majority Blues apparently see their skin color as "default" then yes, racism exists in that society.

If they are as fearful of the "other" as we are then i would say yes there would be racism...
