Another factor is environmental. Some of these kids glean stuff off of social media and interactions with people in real life.

It's really sad. I wouldn't let my children say 'bad things' in the house so don't their parents care? Or they hide it from their parents?

Most times parents don't pay enough attention to how their children communicate with other children.

The society and the home plays a major role in this,kids learn quickly,in a society where racism is commonly practiced,children are bound to emulate such acts with time,and not only racism or xenophobia,even in a society rampant with crime,they might learn also to indulge in crime,then.about the home,"train your child in the way they would grow,that when they get older,they won't depart from it",some parents are racists,and as a child,seeing what your dad or mom is doing,you're bound to think whatever they do is right,so they become racists themselves as they grow,that's why it's hard to see a moslem's child being a christian,and a christian's child being a moslem.

I think the main reason is peers, not even parents, your peers has a higher influence on your life than even your own parents, they follow what majority of their peers is doing even if they know it's wrong, they just don't want to been seen as an outsider by their peers,it even at one time in my life had a negative influence on me
Thank you.

can't particularly say something as the main reason, cause children turn to be parents, it has been an ideology that is been passed on from generation to generation, the root cause is the only thing that can be blamed here because the young see whatever it is going on around them as normal, the same way young ones learn from those around them that being naked isn't normal,the most important thing is a solution, since tribalism could be considered a pandemic by definition of terms, the same approach could be used in wiping it out

It's the only reason i know!

Only believers in Christ Jesus know that God's love is for all mankind {John 3:16; Act 10:34-35} so if you love your neighbour as yourself {Mark 12:31} as a believer you must inculcate the same thought in your child {Deuteronomy 6:6-7} thereby making your child a peacelover who views all people as neighbours.
Failure to do this will give room for hatred that comes through politics where an Hausa/ Ibo/ Yorùbá man hurts a man from another tribe and the next thing is taking sides.
All these commentators spewing gibberish don't know that once you speak in favour of a man from your tribe against a man from another tribe your child is picking it and that's what you're sowing in your child! Galatians 6:7
