Ethnocentrism, or sociocentrism, is as old as mankind. Margaret Mead maintained it was one of three universals among all humans; the other two being a belief in some type of god and the incest taboo. To the extent that racial groups in a society attempt to forge a separate identity from the rest of society, racism via ethnocentrism or sociocentrism will continue to exit.
