Is this the mentality waaaaay too many people have? Like if anyone points out that people aren't the same color they're racist. Wrong. To treat skin color as no more important than hair color is not being a racist.
For example people are getting all upset over the new Survivor. I don't watch the show because I'm sick of reality TV but it isn't racist at all. People who call it racist are borderline racist though. Does the show ever say "The Asians are going to win because they're smarter than blacks and whites."? No, it doesn't all it did was divide them up into skin color groups. How is that any worse than dividing them up into groups of eye color? If you think it is worse then aren't you kind of being racist? Being non racist means you don't consider skin color important at all, so let's all not be racist and stop freaking out everytime some one points out that some people are lighter colored than others.

I'm not a racist for whoever said it, I'm not sure if you could even really say that seriously. And for the other person who said on the contrary, I know we need to move away from sepereations of skin color. I'm saying that by treating it just like eye or hair color there wouldn't be any division anymore, so if some one does point out a difference in skin no one cares or thinks less of either colored person.

It's good to know that Yahoo Answers doesn't discriminate when it comes to Myopic Neanderthals putting their questions to the ever evolving societies of the world! It doesn't pain me as much as it used to when Bell Curved individuals like yourself espoused that old bigotry to make themselves feel more than they actually were.
It never ceases to amaze me when people who stand tall under a belly of a snake, yet can't see their stance in the world because they are so busy living in a vacuum.
Please take the time to research your origin and you may find that it's amazingly true. Because then and only then , will your head come out of that part of your body that you sit on.
Actually , why wait, here's the gist! We're all just varying shades of Brown. If you don't believe , just SIT IN THE SUNLIGHT or TANNING SALON and see what your skin looks like after several sessions!

Each one thinks that the colour of his rce id superior . the fact is the colour is determined by the climate of theregion one belongs .People who are white belong to the torrid zone , those who are yellow or rwon beleong to the temperate zomne and those whoa re black belong to the torrid zomne. Even the trees and animals are influenced by the climat eoif teh region they bleong . in fact the white people want to have their skin tanned and for this reason they tan their skin during the syummer . white skin is supposed to be unhealthy . they are amenable to infection and diseases .. Peole of other regions used to call them as pale and in certin places they are referred to derisivley to . The black skin is considered to be health and immune to so many skin diseases. The brown people think that their skin is the ideal as it is neat and free from skin diseases too. There are ever so manyohter reasons by which the peoeple of the temperate zone hold the white people as unclean too,so the very thought at of one being superior by reason of colour is nonsense. In those days when might was right , one who was strong had his way. In fact it is a know fact htat in physical strenght and sports it is the black people who have been ruling the world and would continue to td so . What is criteria foir superiority , colour , ability to cheat and defraud and subjugate , never having had the opportunity of living with one wife one husband , or living with one husband and with one wife for life 9 foret exceptions of a few) , the position of one being certain about his paternity of uncertain about one's paternity and what ?
Tjhe whit eand teh black who eat fruit excere only the same filty . the white does not excrete white filth and th edark dark filty and all the dirt stink alike and the white's is as stinking as the blacks .
The days of the rule by colour are gone and would never be back.

It won't stop until we eliminate races through intermarriage. This separation is unnatural and destructive. It also restricts compatible partners irrationally, because even if a certain race as a whole doesn't attract you, you shouldn't be forced to marry the race, but should feel free to pick one of the unique individuals in it.

On the contrary my friend! You must understand that this is not for the good of us all! We must move from identifying ourselves by color! and start to begin to identify others by character skills and talent!
