Racism is based partly on rivalry, but there are other factors. At it's core, it is based on ignorance and fear of the unknown.
Racism as it exists in the West today is based mainly on economic rivalry, but it also exists because of the after affects of slavery and segregation. Stereotypes that were used to justify the past treatment of minorities still exist and although they will fade, they will, in all likelihood, still remain.
