Racism is a deadly disease, and unfortunately one of the most common. What is most alarming about racism is the level of ignorance that can be demonstrated in some of the most intelligent people. People you would consider as bright and well educated are just as susceptible to holding prejudices as the average person, and often it is the more intelligent that spread these opinions. Being of mixed heritage and having lived in several different countries, i have experienced varied forms of racism, both subtle and blatant. I have also seen how some people can treat you differently once they have discovered your heritage. Sometimes the blatant "in your face" racism even hurts less than the subtleties, as at least with blatant racism you are fully aware of what you are dealing with. For me however, there is no hierarchy when it comes to racism, it is all as disgusting as the rest, whether you are talking about someones skin color or their country of origin. Will we ever be rid of it? Im not sure... with the internet and various other mediums ignorance is too easy to spread. I however will always embrace multiculturalism, without it i wouldn't even exist. Sam Freestyle Simpson born in liverpool raise in singapore

That os why you cannot judge someone until you speak to them first! You can't judge a book by it's cover.
