To answer the question tho I think racism in the US stemmed from slavery just like racism did for other countries. In order to justify slavery you have to convince the world that the people being enslaved are less than human. The first slaves in the America's were Native people and the same excuse was given. They even took them to Europe to have debates to see if they were human or not.
