Stop Racism: What is the next step?


It is a good thing to see that in this world there are places where things like slavery and segregation seem ridiculous. It is good because it says to me that it does not happen in the circles of the people that find in ridiculous and that they would never allow it in their circles. This is a good thing, as long as we do not neglect the reality that these things still exist in the world. Places like Canada have achieved the first step: creating a legal and government system that allows all races the same opportunities and rights, the next step changing the social order of things. Canada is country full of immigrants so of course the question of where your family originated is common, but let it so that your background does not give people a preconceived notion of your character. I hope one day that the upper class Arab community in Yemen can judge any lower class Akhdam person based solely in what they have to say and not where they come from. I hope that anyone from the Mohawk tribe can marry outside their tribe without being told they are giving up their culture. Of course this will not solve all the world’s problems. In a world without racism I am sure people still cannot all get along but at least they would be given a chance to, and I am hoping that in most cases if you give a person a chance they will surprise you.
