Editorial Editorial Even now in the 21st Century, Americans are unable to discuss race in an open forum. For more than three hundred years foreign immigrants have made America their home. Basically, except for the Native Americans, we are all immigrants.
Race is one of the most difficult topics in America today.
There are no easy answers. In order to heal the wounds of the past and prevent more conflict in the future, we need to confront the issues in a positive forum and open up discussions to find positive solutions. My personal belief is that people should be judged by their character and attitude, not by their ethnic identity. We all can't change our biological heritage, but we are responsible for our attitude and our character. As America continues to confront multi-culturalism, many Americans look forward to the day when the attitudes and social mores of past generations will be replaced with more diverse cultural acceptance.
