Is racism "normal"? John Jay Ray, after many years spent studying racism, concludes that "human beings are inherently tribal and that they therefore very easily develop group loyalties, including “racial” loyalties. In other words, some form of “racism” is normal and universal. Putting it yet another way, we are all racists but some of us are better at hiding or suppressing it than others." He has an interesting take on English anti-semitism (scroll down a little).
