I'm an American. Nevertheless, it is clear that there is something wrong in America that each of us can help cure if only by the mere action of thinking about it. We are ruled much too strongly by stereotypes of color, religion and appearance. We really must take a large step in civility and sensibility. There are a lot of us who are from different backgrounds but may enjoy the same things.
Color is an easily available category.
I think we need to get over the past and stop judging others on appearance as strongly as we do. Hate to admit it, but I remember being afraid of different looking people as a child. No one group of people has an open mind to this, not Jews, not Muslims, not Christians. Let's remember the Golden Rule. It's not only our own destinies we are talking about, it is our planet's future.
