Racism/Prejudice

I'm going to say this again - racism is a bunch of bullshit.

It was pure dumb luck that you were born the race you are. You didn't make any physical, intellectual or well thought out selection of ANY sort. You don't get credit for it.

None.
Zero.
Zip.

You can't proclaim superiority over something that was completely RANDOM.

Your mother decided to give birth to you.
You had NO say in it.

That all being FACT, I'm going to also say this:

If your kid is dying in a hospital somewhere and needs a blood transfusion to live, you're not going to give a second thought about who that blood comes from.

If you're South Korean, you're not going to care if the blood that saves your kid's life is from a North Korean.

If you're Puerto Rican, you're not going to care if the blood that saves your kid's life is from a Dominican.

If you're white, you're not going to care if the blood that saves your kid's life is from a black person or not.

If you're Muslim, you're not going to care if the blood that saves your kid's life is from a Catholic.

You're not going to let your kid die over it.

And unless you're willing to sacrifice something as large as that - it's just all bullshit.

So, stop it.
