I don't really care what color you are. I don't care what ethnic background your from other then your pride of your ancestors and their accomplishments. I don't care what country your from, if we could take the governments out of the picture you might find people think the same core values as anyone else and no matter what country they are form or you are in-you will find good and bad people everywhere. And you'll find people that will bend over backwards to help you in every country even in all the so-called trouble spots in the world. If you do treat people the way you like to be treated you will get that back from people most times in a one-on-one situation. Like any other human anywhere...here in CS or any real world location-none of us have treated people they meet with respect all the time, but that is always something to work on for personal growth.
Now...having said all this I'm glad I was born a white male of the species born in the Northern hemisphere.
Being so has made my life much easier for the first half of my life compared to being a non-white male because if you look at the history of the world the white man seems to have had the upper hand at the expense of those who are not. Not all the time of course, but more so then not. This is nothing to say white man is superior, though the opinion of many was that they were. It was just the events of the historical calendar that put them on top of the pecking order. At this point in time right now, the world and cultural acceptance is changing so that the "white man" is no longer the dominate being on the planet. This is something I welcome as I've seen what the alternative is to not being on top of the pecking order for many people. It's about time the other peoples of the world have their chance to get ahead and prosper. The question is if it can be done without the hatred against one another as has been done in the past?
