Is it a sign of lack of education or intelligence?

Organisms are inherently competitive, yet cooperation is widespread. Genes cooperate in genomes; cells cooperate in tissues; individuals cooperate in societies. Animal societies, in which collective action emerges from cooperation among individuals, represent extreme social complexity. Such societies are not only common in insects, mammals, and birds, but exist even in simple species like amoebas (Figure 1). Animal societies vary in structure from eusocial insect colonies with a single reproductive female supported by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of non-breeding workers, to cooperatively breeding groups of vertebrates with one or more breeders and a small number of non-breeding helpers. Given the diversity of social taxa, why do some species form complex societies, while other closely related species do not? Within these societies, why do some individuals attempt to reproduce, while others delay their own reproductive efforts to help raise the offspring of others? Determining the answers to these and other questions requires considering how and why groups form, and how individual behavioral roles are determined within groups.

In my opinion, The core of all this is likely in our genes as well. It’s based in our very early tribal society’s Where outside groups were extremely dangerous and more distinct by appearance.
It just too strong, widespread and impactful a trait to be purely learned.
Indeed, it has been the litmus test since the 1960s -- and the goalposts on what racism is seems to always be shifting until you are considered a racist if you do not want to actively "dismantle whiteness" and you can be accused of "dog whistling" if you are doing anything besides actively affirming diversity.

So, this poll might as well just be "So, people who disagree with us are ignorant or stupid, am I right?" and it throws in the other options not because there is an actual desire to come to some sort of truth... but because it helps disguise it as a poll.
