The root of racism I guess is pride.
But it seems that as far as marriage with blacks are concerned, this is not an issue for rich Arabs, many 'brown' peoples behave much the same, weather they be indo/pak, hispanic or whatever. It is very easy to find interracial marriage between whites and any of these, but marriage with blacks is much less common. And I have on many occasions heard peoples of color discussing or comparing the lightness of their skin and even corresponding how beautiful they consider a person to be in direct relation to it. Of course not all do that, but it is common.
I once heard all the diseases of the heart can be traced back to pride or envy. If we work to remove these from ourselves, we will see these attitudes disappear.
