Racism

Racism exists in every country of the world and it is not too hard to understand why. We are all human beings and a lot of us tend to fall for wrong role models. We get influenced by politics, by the media and by the people around us. In the worst case we adopt a racist opinion and declare it to our own.

To me racism is a stupid form of ignorance, laziness and weakness, those who adopt racist ideologies are either too silly to think for themselves or too lazy to create their own points of view. It is easy to blame everything that went wrong in your life on other people on other religions or on a person with a different skin colour than your own. It is easy to follow prejudices and not to try to prove them wrong. It is also easy to stick to your “own people” or your “own culture” and imagine them being on a superior position.

Racism will keep on existing because we get manipulated easily. But let us hope that the majority of people will always appreciate the diversity of cultures, people and nationalities see the beauty in it and learn from each other. If one positive example is set a lot of people will get influenced by that and these people will influence other people in a positive way, namely to face each other as brothers and sisters. This cycle is the same like the vicious cycle of racism, but it’s all about influencing others in a positive way.
