Yep. Testosterone run wild. I do wish we could keep these guys alive to experiment on. I think testosterone causes violence based on penetration -- spears, swords, and pistols. Male animals -- even young ones -- often have a powerful mount and penetrate reflex.
The tendency to attack women is possibly linked to the copulative effect.
Racial hatred is really something poorly understood. Many males prefer outgroup women -- at least for casual sex. This might lead to fights with outgroup males. The mythology of lynching in the South was strongly connected to "protecting Southern white womanhood" against sexual attack by blacks or even Jews. (The Mary Phelan-Frank case in Atlanta in 1913 is a recently dramatized example).
Antisemitism is very ancient -- at least to Persia, Egypt and Babylon. It was built into Roman behavior before Christianity became important, but it is bizarre that people who claim to be Christians sometimes act as if Jesus hated Jews, instead of trying to save them from death or damnation by dying for them.
