Racism: something worth talking about it

Humanity. Again. I think I need to talk about something else, but whatever. And this time the topic is racism in the world, so I believe this is going to be interesting.

Racism is one of those global issues that some people believe that it's "not that important to talk about" or that it's "something not as important as, for example, global warming". And well, the latest one is right, but again, it's worth talking about it. You see, the world is full of different types of humans: white ones, black ones, asiatic, european... and this cultural diversity makes one huge issue within the world population: which one of those types is the "superior one". This problem has led humanity into some really nasty moments through History: street violence, revolutions, a sense of alienation in the population just for his skin tone or language... The list goes on and on. This problem creates a sense of "supremacy" in the powerful countries against those cultures and places marked as "the inferior ones" or "the savage ones", thus making the process of living in a place that it's not your place of birth a lot harder.

One of the solutions that I believe (and also one of my colleagues, so I suppose it's right) could be that we should make people aware of this issue from a very young age. Society has told us to mock about people who live in other places, so why not make society teach young people how to tolerate them? Besides, let's focus in the most important point of this topic: why we discriminate people to begin with it? It's just pointless! WE are humans: we go work, we feel emotions, we think... We are an entity that should get along with everyone instead of fighting like stupid animals in order to show the world which part of the human race is the most retarded.

Racism is pointless: the real human potential lies in cooperation, but not as one race, but as a whole species. If we could just leave far away this stupid idea and just improve ourselves, we could make anything that we want.
