Physical Abuse and Intolerance (in General)...

Well, actually I am more interested in general racism, and white intolerance.

Is there any connection between racism, and perhaps intolerance in general, and physical abuse, or maybe just corporal punishment in general, as a child of course? I have wondered this for some time.

I mean is there any study that focused on this factor?

Because I see some people, sometimes just around me that are so tolerant and compassionate. And some, ditto, that are quite the opposite. Is it because they were beaten as a child, or something. Intolerance is disgusting. But this is actually mainly a factual question.
