Race & Ethnicity

I am going to start off with the first couple of sentences when the author refers to there being few absolutes when discussing race and ethnicity. Although this is very true, there are very few absolutes with anything! Next time your bored try to find an absolute in politics and let me know how it works out for you. Even the idea of fact can be twisted and manipulated to favor one sides view of something. It's incredible how complex everything is. When people argue whether a film was good or bad you will receive arguments from both sides of the spectrum. It basically comes down to personal opinion as do so many other things.

Back to the topic of discussion though.. I find racism in many different places today. Although people may clame not to be racist, if you get to know them better you will find an occasional instance where they might like their real feelings slip. Racism in my opinion is such a hinderance to so many aspects of life. We as people could acheive so much more and learn so much more if we could rid ourselves or the racial and cultural barriers that stop us.
