Without diversity life would be pretty boring.
A lot of prejudice is a learned behavior. A person who grows up with racism can make the choice to continue to be that way or change their thought patterns and change what they teach to their next generation.
Prejudice is judging entire races, for what a few do. I prefer to get to know people as individuals and go from there.
Dave the gnome-I agree with you on the religion matter, and I always say, "there are six billion people on earth and six billion religions" It's all how you act and what you believe. To change the masses is a step at a time and spreading your goodness around.
