At least for racism they only discriminate against you, for tribalism your neighbours wake up one morning and hack you and your kids to death coz you are from tribe X. On the violence scale, a mzungu who abuses you is much better than your fellow 'kenyan brother' who kills you and your family without any remorse. You cant even get a job in county X just because you are from tribe Y. We should remove the logs in our eyes before talking about the specks in msungus eyes. Lets stop the hypocrisy.
I dare say that many of us would exibit the same racist tendencies had we been born Jewish. These prejudices tend to be ingrained from religious, tribal or societal psyche.
The racist, the tribalist, the homophobe, the religious fundametalist; all these hold bigoted prejudices which are very difficult to change.
