Question

Help answer this question below.

Why are people so obsessed with race? I really don't understand the question and I am trying to understand why. What can't we all just love one another regardless of the color of our skin?

    This is a great example of The Prisoner's Dilemma. I bet that most people would say that they themselves are not concerned about race but they secretly assume that the people in the other race are concerned about race and will act out against other races.

    Personally, I think the statement "I am white/black/Asian/Latino" should have no more importance than "I have brown hair."

    I am not sure that individuals are obsessed by race - the media certainly is and whenever two people of different ethnic origins get into a fight it is assumed that it is race related. There are people who campaign for minority groups - isn't this exacerbating the situation for some groups where simply calling them minority makes it sound like they are hard done by.

    I am not denying racism exists, of course it does, but there seems to be a school of thought that thinks it is universally white and another that thinks that if we tell a joke about another race it is a hate crime.

    Lighten up.....wait for the song!

    In all honesty, I don't have enough time to worry about races.

    If I worried about race I would have like two friends and no boyfriend or daughter.
