yes it is. for any race. it sucks to be prejudged because of a racial stereotype. or set aside because the color of your skin isn't that of the people around you. i'm half white half black (as most of you probably already know), and it is difficult being stuck in the middle, too black, too white, or not enough of either. do any of you remember taking test in school, and you lawyas had to fill in the race box. i never knew which one ot fill in becasue my options were caucasian, african american, latin or asian. i don't know if they have changed at all. but i hated it because what should it matter. are the asian kids going ot be graded more strictly becasue they are stereotypically labeled as the super smart people, or am i gonna get graded on a curve becasue i am black (they always made me mark african american). it's stupid. no race is higher than another, no race is better than another. ever race of people has contributed something positive and something negative ot the world. to be prejudged or disliked becasue of a melanin variation is rather absurd. slit my wrist and that of a black man, white man, asian man, latin man and a western asian man, and you will see that it all drips red. so seriosuly people ,stop the violence and stop the hate, towards any race, gender, economic background, orientation. it's not getting any of us anywhere

It is actually a very important issue of paramount importance. I hope there is an international law protecting people against racial discrimination. Racial discrimination is the onset of genocide just like what is happening in some parts of the world. What happened in Croatia was a religious discrimination which was discribed by the media as "Ethnic Cleansing" It is now happening in Darfur.

It's not just discrimination across races that's a big issue, but intra-racial discrimination, within races, is also a huge problem.
You think whitey is trying to keep the Black man down? Whitey keeps whitey down, too. Look at the Holocaust and the many genocides in Europe in the 1800's - 1900's.
The Black man keeps the Black man down, too. Look at the genocides in Africa that span from the mid 1900's until now. They are on going. Black on Black murder. Look into the Aro Confederacy, indigenous Africans who organized to sell other indigenous Africans into slavery. What about the Muslim slave trade? They were trading their own people in to slavery.
Asians discriminate against Asians, too. Look at how the "Untouchables" and Siddah of India are treated by their own bretheren. Also, what about the Nanjing Massacre where Japanese killed Koreans.
And what's a bigger issue than that? When people discriminate against their own flesh and blood. When they sell out their own daughters, sons, fathers, mothers, etc. Like the Romanian father who sells his son into male on male prostitution.
Racial discrimination isn't the biggest issue, but it's there as well. If people didn't perpetuate the construct built around it, it would go away.

No matter where you go in the world, you will find ALL forms of discrimination. Especially racial. Just look at what's been happening in Africa for the last few decades. Or even Bosnia-Herzegovina(spelling?).

My african american friends tell me they get pulled over all the time just because of their skin color. These are not men of lower class. These are buisness men with nice cars.
