(2,256 posts)Using a persons skin color, heritage, religion, ethnicity, or any other attribute to marginalize them is wrong. People come from all backgrounds. It's what makes being human so great is our differences. Learning from and building on each other's history is what makes us the great melting pot. By looking at me, all people see is a white guy. They don't know that my grandparents on my father's side are Cherokee. They don't know that my great, great, grandmother is African-American. What happens when we as humans try to separate ourselves into groups based on the attributes I mentioned above? We become close-minded, suspicious of anyone that is different than us. I don't care what a person looks like or what their beliefs are, when any person tries to marginalize another,
it is not ok!
