Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The negative view of a group's cultural characteristics is the driving force behind the racism in this scenario. The neighbors view the immigrant's livestock as unsanitary because it goes against their own cultural norms and beliefs, leading to discrimination towards the immigrant group. It is not related to generating finance capital, biological differences, or linguistic barriers.
