I mean... I'll go with some Sociology 1001 here for your guys benefit so you understand where I'm coming from.
In societies where one ethnic group has either been in power for a long time, or is the majority or both....
That Majority is seen as the Default. All others are seen as Deviations from the default. Deviations from the Default have built in negative advantages.
For example, in Portugal if you were to ask kids that are only 3 or 4. "Point to the smart kid" in line of kids drawn exactly the same but with different shades of race. They will pick the white kid.
It's the same with "Point to the good child" and "Point to the child you would like to be friends with."
For "Point to the dumb kid" "Point to the kid who gets in trouble and point to the child you don't like" They will all point to the darker skinned children.
This is in any country that is majority white or has recently broken free from colonialism.
Important note... you get the same results if you test minority children. You take an Arab Portuguese person... and the smart child is white, the dumb child is their colour... etc.
This is built in at such a young age, and it's unavoidable due to just how society works no matter how careful a parent you are.
The same is true for young children and even adults.
When asked to quickly identify traits with pictures of people... even the people who know it's coming, tend to ALWAYS place the positive traits with whites, and the negative traits with the minorities even minority people who take the test! These could be well dressed people and poorly dressed white people, and it doesn't matter.
Given two people with relatively even resumes... people pretty much always go for the Default. Being the "Default" race (and sex) gives you an inherent advantage even among benign "non racist" people. Unless well educated about it, few people even notice that they subconsciously make such choices every day. It takes someone who is aware of these biases to be able to overcome them.
That's in an ideal "non-racist" society. Let alone the real world societies we live in today where people exist who are actually honest to god racists.
