No, for racism is not born in our eyes, it is born in our hearts. Racism is our inadeqacies looking for validation and finding weakeness in others to build oursleves up. So it is not our senses, but rather the conditon of our hearts as mankind that cause racism.

Racism is more a matter of ignorance than colour. Unfortunately there are issues that get lumped into the category of “racism” erroneously. There are so many issues that divide human beings that “race” alone falls to a minor issue. Consider: religion, culture, nationality, ethnicity, political persuasion and economic status. All of these things serve as weapons in the arsenal of demagogues who attain and maintain power on the basis of social balkanisation. Blindness wouldn’t end that.

I know what you bumpy-skinned people want, with your big pores and you sweaty skin! You can't fool us. I can feel you a twenty feet away and smell you at a hundred!
Nothing will end racism. We have something similar today in the United States. It is accepted, even normal. You may do it, and wouldn't think twice. We think we're better than that. Nonsense. You can see full-blown racism running rampant here at Yahoo! Answers P&G.
A type of bigotry that considers half the population stupid, dangerous, uneducated, corrupt...
...politics. Take you pick: democrat, republican. One side is considered by the other side to be inferior innately. It's not a war of ideas. Its bigotry.
Bless the republicans and democrats who still see American patriots behind respectful words, whether they agree or not.

I think a lot of things wouldn't exist if humans were blind. But there would still be some kind of racism or other ism that puts "us" against "them."

I think if humans were blind, people would have to judge others on their actions and not their skin color. Racism might not exist but prejudice would. People would judge others on different characteristics such as the way they sound or smell. People are going to make unfair judgments about others no matter what.

No, there is more to racism than just color. People would be finding other things to discriminate and knowing we still would be different one way or another would be enough to trigger discrimination of some sort.

Maybe not Racism, but Discrimination. Its a sad fact, of human nature that we divide ourselves.

No, it still would, people would just be racist against tall people or people with big noses or whatever detail they could feel instead. Racism is ignorance, the only way to fix it, is to educate.

NO racism would still exist, we will discriminate each other on smell and how our voices sound.
