Race and Culture Stereotypes

Imagine you're in a small room with five other people.  They all speak a different language than you and come from different countries and wear their cultural clothes.

What do you see?

Do you notice their clothes?  Do you make stereotypical observations?

Now imagine you're in a small room with rive other people.  They all have the same clothes on.  T-shirt and jeans.  The simple outfit.  All the jeans are the same plain blue and all the t-shirts are white with no designs.  What do you see now?  Do you see their faces?  Perhaps that's the only thing you notice now.  More so than when they all had on their cultural clothes.

So focus on their faces.  What do they look like?  Do they look like you?

When we look at others from a different country we tend to make assumptions.  But in truth, we all have noses, eyes, mouths, cheeks, chins, foreheads, lips, eyebrows, necks, legs, arms, backs... how many more body parts do I have to list?

Can't you see?  We are all the same.  So many similarities yet the few differences separate us.  Let me list them:
Religion
Country
Tradition
Language
Skin color

Huh, that's not many is it?  Compared to all the similarties we have.  It's not just physical either.  We all love, we all feel emotions, we all eat, we all drink, enjoy time with family and friends, we all create, and so on.

You see?  There is no such thing as race.  And, culture stereotypes are liars.  Though only an exceptional few may actually apply.
