I don't think it's such a good idea to think as black-white as that.
If we accept that racism is a part of human culture, we have to accept
it within ourselves, instead of denying or ignoring. It's a question
to aknowledge it to handle it. It's not bad to discriminate,
differences are interesting and usefull. There even necesary for
social growth. But when they become something beyond reality and
start having a life of their own it's time to analyse. So don't be
afraid .
Have a colourful newyear
