What would happen if people no longer judged other people by the color of their skin, or their last name, or their religion, or their sexual orientation? Personally, I think a lot of people have utopian ideals that will never happen and that if people no longer judged people by the above traits, they'd find new ones to judge them by. Not only is it utopian, but also many are hypocrites to boot. They won't judge by the above, but wouldn't think twice about making fun of a person with a Southern accent or who drives a pinto to work, or listens to classical music, and on and on. For those with their heads in the sky, what would happen next? Would racism vanish? Would we all sit around a campfire and sing songs together? Seriously, what or can it actually happen? Would people stop wanting to differentiate themselves from one another? Isn't that the real root of the problem - wanting to belong to a group and differentiating us from one another.

In short, I think it's in man's nature (and womens) to want to belong and to differentiate ourselves from others. If it isn't racism, it'd be something else. What do you think?

Apparently I wasn't to clear, judging by the idiotic Ashton's response. I'm not saying it's OK or good, I'm saying that if it isn't color of skin, then people would likely find some other means to differentiate themselves or put themselves over another group of people. Apparently, people can't even get over the color issue on a hypothetical question.

it is human nature to judge. but it makes no sense to judge on skin color, because two different people with the same color could be worlds apart, while two different people wearing the traditional dress of Malaysia for example at a Malaysian festival are probably Malaysian and it's okay to automatically assume so

Any moron who judges based on race is a fuking scumbag psycho ward reject. People should be judged by actions, valor, character, etc. NOT SKIN COLOR - IT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS AND ERRONEOUS SYSTEM BECASE AS WE KNOW YOU CANNOT EVER CORRECTLY ASSUME ANYTHING OTHER THAN PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES WHEN DISCUSSING RACE BECAUSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A DEVIATION - WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO JUDGE ON RACE IS BEYOND ME AND ONLY TESTIFIES TO THEIR UTTER STUPIDITY.
