You may have heard "IQ is about 50% heritable". What you need to know is that by the same logic, "Experiencing Racism" is also heritable. A dark-skin man is likely to experience racism and his kids are likely to experience similar levels of racism to him.
If that man had children with someone white, their children's tendency to experience racism would be intermediate between both parents. Identical twins raised apart are likely to experience similar levels of racism.
Fraternal twins would be less likely to experience similar levels of racism than identical twins. Every pattern that we would normally look at to figure out if something is genetic would say "experiencing racism" is inherent and genetic.
Don't read too much into claims like "IQ is 50% heritable". They make a lot of assumptions and they are a lot less meaningful than you might think.
