    This shows that in a lot of white majority societies that had slavery are still under the influence of racism.

I think it's more to do with the fact that societies in which there is a social group at the top, the ones at the bottom get hurt. In South Africa, the blacks often have more privilege than the whites. In Middle Eastern, it's which ever ethnic or religious group happens to have power at the time. India has its class system. I'm sure if I knew more about the world, I could give more examples.

The fact of the matter is, it's not a race issue. It's not a religious issue. It's a class issue. A power issue. It is a flaw in almost every society on the Earth and it is beyond shameful.
