The albino raccoon in my backyard got beaten up by the other raccoons. I suspect whenever there’s a subpopulation of a species which is identifiably different, there will be suspicion and conflict.
Animals don’t have races or ethnic differences, as far as I am concerned. They’re just creatures living in the wild that just so happen to all be different species.
I attend a very diverse church, this could have been a discussion among our youngest children. Growing up in a community where a mother may be one color and the father another color, they accept color, but are blind to hatred of racism. However, as they grow up in the world, they become aware.
As someone who might still be inclined to, if she had magical reality-warping powers, turn the whole of humanity into anthro furries, and part of the reasoning was "the old racism couldn’t hold because how would you know if a lion’s ancestors were First People, African or even European, since the only deciding factor is they had to exist there during the last glacial period…
This reminds me that a lot of people brought up it’d likely just lead to a further splintering. And it’s not like even my fictions don’t eventually have a major problem caused by German wolves…

I always thought that grizzly bears, polar bears, and panda bears were equivalent to different races.

I’ve been told* that both black and grey squirrels may be found in the same litter.
*by someone I met on a street awash in squirrels; thus it must be squirrel gospel.

Animals compete to see who is the fastest, quickest, smartest, etc…, everyday. It’s called lunch.
