    As for the 'one race' thing - we are ALL one "RACE" - there are
    different ethnicities, but we are all human. I think there are
    STILL a lot of people that miss that point...

    I used to use this phrase, "more than human" to describe myself. It
    was my opposition to this "we are all just human" sentiment.

    There is more to us than just being human, and reducing us to the
    basest, lowest common denominator strips away what makes us...us.

    Sure, there are a TON of different cultural differences. Being
    a human doesn't take that away, but if saying we are all human
    prevents racism, then why not?

    What prevents racism is not jamming disparate peoples together into one place.
    The more you try and push people of different cultures and ethnicities together, the more antagonism you get.

    Also, you are assuming that racism is the biggest evil. It is not. There are bigger evils. Communism, which was supposed to unite the world and destroy barriers between people, killed more people than Nazism.

    The West is hyper obssessed with racism to the point that it is literally supporting ethnic cleansing so as not to appear racist.

    People are inherently evil, so being forced to do anything
    will usually be met with resistance.

    LOL - actually I'm NOT assuming that at all! The biggest evil
    is in the heart of man. Racism is a symtom, not the root
    CAUSE.

    The West is hyper obssessed with racism to the point that it is
    literally supporting ethnic cleansing so as not to appear racist.

    Yep - you try to NOT be racist, so you build up one 'so called
    race' by tearing down another...
