Less motivation for people to be racist if they have their needs met.

  Except their need to be racist. Sorry, it's pretty easy to be any kind of bigot with all your needs met.

    Yeah there are plenty of rich racists. But I think the racism party would take a haircut if people didn't feel screwed over.

  > Less motivation for people to be racist if they have their needs met. If and only if what they'll be given is not taken away by anyone under any reason.** Loss aversion bias innately exists within us for a reason: How can anyone live if someone else seeks to take what they have away?

  I think this is true. When needs aren't met, they are more likely to follow a cult leader.

  Their needs are met. They are turning to racism because of their wants and fears.
