Which statement best paraphrases this excerpt from

the book?
Racial prejudice was harmful and cruel because its
rules separated people, even people who genuinely
liked each other and wanted to collaborate.
Racial prejudice was accompanied by arbitrary
rules that undermined the shared interests of
people who had come to believe that they were
irreconcilably dissimilar.
Racial prejudice resulted in strange policies that
undermined the mutual goals of people who,
though similar, had learned to believe that they
were separate.
Racial prejudice was absurd, separating people
throughout society, regardless of whether they had
similar desires or shared interests.
