The main goals of top-down racism
One of the main goals of racism is not just simply to marginalise a particular race, but to manage and narrow their aspirations. Once that is accomplished, racism isn't felt. The victim will simply cease to aspire to that which has earlier been determined to be the privilige of another. Thereafter, a chinese-style 'harmony' is brought about where everyone 'gets along' knowing and accepting and not aspiring beyond their 'rightful place' in society. That is one of the underlying values of Confucianism for instance. Another significant aim of racism is to turn the privileged race against the idea of difference in itself. By getting them to go against their own natural human instinct and ignore difference in culture and race has the effect of disabling their generic ability to appreciate difference itself, and reality from different angles. That in itself will render them more receptive to the one-sided mass-underdevelopmental vision of any fascist
