Why do you confuse "having problems with", with disagrement? I dont approve of lots of things in life, but that doesnt mean I have a problem with those things. Its like calling a person a homophobe that doesnt agree with the gay lifestyle. Phobia means fear, and that is not what is happening here. You cannot force someone to believe the way you do by mischaracterizing them.
By the way, lesbians are GAYS too, so you dont need to separate them into their own category. Homosexuality is the same whether 2 males or 2 females. Muslims are the ones that are spreading out and trying to conquer the world via force. They are the suicide bombers. They are the ones that declared jihad. They are the onese that remain silent when the bombs go off. They are the ones I saw on CNN cheering in the streets after 9/11. Since you are so big on talking about people with "problems" why did you fail to mention that many of the ones you mention also have problems against us?
Instead of looking at the world in a one dimensional manner, why not look at the different facets? Your basic question started out as why people have problems, but then your explaination took on a one-sided approach to the problem, thus revielling your bias.

What is so simple to you and I, that people should just accept each other is just as equally simple for those do not like other types of people. They have a reason that is in their mind and heart. This reason is an evil one, and though they may know it they also know that they don't agree with what is good. Sometimes the justification they say is wrong as well. But some people are always inclined to act this way. It is something they felt early in thier life and in their path no one has been able to change them. Hopefully they will change through an open mind and understanding.

In my own experience, people usually have problems with other people because of the way they think or have been taught to think. We may all be the same physically, we aren't all the same psychologically/mentally.
I agree with you in that people can be stupid in not realizing that everyone is human. However, it's also kind of stupid to expect everyone to get along well just because you ask them to, since... well, since we're human, which means that we're bound to make mistakes. Even if everyone were exactly the same physically, there are bound to be some people who dislike seeing themselves in other people.
Like I said before, people having problems with other people lies in the differences of mentality and personality, and in that we are NOT all the same, no matter how much we want to be.

I think it depends on the environment in which you're raised. If there is tolerance in the home, it will carry over into school years and adulthood. Prejudice is based on ignorance, and involves a lack of respect for difference. Unfortunately, we can not change everyone's mind, but we can lead by example.

Yes, realizing everyone is equal due to their basic humanity is key to undoing the racial, religious and cultural tensions on Earth. However, as long as there is profit to be made in keeping people fighting each other, it will continue.

You're fabulous! :) Have kids, please and teach them. You'd be wonderful.
The only way the world is going to change is with parents teaching their children to be tolerant of others and to love them. Too many people tell their kids to love others, but then act the exact opposite. Children learn by example.

hello!
sometimes it is because of insecurities and insensitive. people tend to be insecure when the other seems to be on top and yet his still on ground. whether what race they came from they tend to put some issue and complicated their life. they are insensitive on what other would feel and that would cause racial discrimination.

you're truly living in a fantasy world if you think humans are that intelligent to put aside their differences.
