I was thinking about whether I should engage any post in racism, since it is an important global issue. But, the thing is that I do not have much to say about racism, except that it is complete and stupid nonsense!
Intolerance is just something so remote from my personality and my environment (thank God, I haven't come in contact with any real racism or anything like it in my twenty years, for which I am eternally grateful), that I don't know what to say... My friends know I like to make many prejudist jokes, especially about the Chinese, for some reason, but they also know well that they are nothing but jokes, and that although I might expect certain behaviour from someone of a particular nationality, I will abandon that preconception as soon as he/she shows that I was wrong.
In my view, prejudices are not bad as long as you are prepared to overlook them at any time. It is when you stubbornly clutch at an opinion about a type of people that it becomes dangerous.
