Are ducks racist?

Ok, so I got into a coffee break discussion at work the other day.
The topic was race, integration and inter-racial marriage.
Dicey topic eh?
One woman says that she admits that she is more likely to be comfortable in a setting with people of her own race than say a congregation of black people.
I can see the other openly liberal woman shaking her head in disagreement..
I say "thank you for having the courage to speak your mind."

Anyway, I (Mr. politically incorrect) finally chime in.
I blurd out that I believe that is natures way and that man thinks that because of his mental superiority, can override the genetic programing instilled in us by mother nature.
Is there not a programing device in our DNA that is there to protect sub specie diversity?
Look at waterfowl.
You have a migration where thousands of birds come together.
All of them are ducks.
Within the flock, you have mallards, pintails, gadwalls, widgeons, canvasbacks, bluebills etc...
They will all migrate together, but upon touchdown, will separate into smaller groups of birds of their own subspecies (not 100%, but close).
Very rarely will they ever interbreed.
Is this racism?
No, it is an internally programed behavior designed to keep the purity and survival of the subspecies intact.
Overly domesticated ducks interbreed at will creating all sorts of intermingled characteristics.
Is it our advanced mental capacity the tries to be inclusive of all races and avoid the social taboos of being labeled a racist (which BTW is the most socially abhorrent label of all by today's standards) Or is it a genetically programmed racial integrity device deep within our DNA that our highly developed thought capabilities are trying to override due to social pressures?

As far as the blight suffered by minorities in this country?
Very similar situation I believe.

We have been conditioned by society to be colorblind.

You are an outcast for thinking differently.

I believe that despite our present culture and the horrendous social implications of being labeled a racist, there is a tribal mentality that was programed into our DNA eons ago that as a society we are trying to overcome.
If I as a white person were to move to the Australian outback and try to fit in with an Aboriginal tribe , do you think I would be given equal opportunities and all the same rights as a native born son?
Should I then cry bloody murder that the the majority did not fully accept me and give me full opportunity?
If I were to go the the Masai tribe in Tanzania, and try to fit in as a tribesman or the polar north and try to intermingle with the native peoples, do you believe that I would be given true acceptance?
Very unlikely.
Like it or nor the white skinned devil is the majority in this nation.
For eternity minorities will struggle with that fact and the deep rooted self preservation mechanism that I believe is present in every human being will be an obstacle they will have to fight to overcome.
I believe there is some truth in Mr. Wise's speech, however that truth, much like any other personal belief is intermingled with his own social and political standards.
Myself, I give what I get.
Everyone starts out on an equal playing field, white, mexican, black, asian whatever, your actions and behavior dictate the human being that I label.
Just my thoughts on the race subject.
