text: why are people so damn racist?   i dont know why people are racist. it's just been an ongoing thing that has happened since eternity. if you asked me, i think it's absolutely stupid, as well as ignorant. theirs this whole mentality, in which people believe their superior to other races, but in reality we're all the same people. the only thing that's different is our skin color, and our cultures. but deep down, you have the rebel person from a culture, that relates to another rebel in a different culture, you have the preppy person that relates to another preppy person in a different culture, you have the shy kid from a culture that can relate to another kid in a different culture. to sum things up, we're all the same, no matter what. i just wish people would take those topics into consideration, and just realize that we are the same people, and leave behind the fact of wanting to put others down, or block their successes just because of their races.
