Regarding Racism Part II

To continue from this, it’s a little ignorant to completely expect everyone to like everyone else, especially when it comes to different personalities, but it is a nice dream to have. Racism is one of those things that really bother me about society, but I know that it’s only gonna change through time and individual reassessment. The way I explain to myself why this happens today is that people are inherently geared to categorize things, and one of those things happen to be people’s skin color or what country they’re from. Another reason is that people who aren’t exposed to something tend to simply ignore that something or judge and stay away from it. And this is completely normal. I believe that different types of people have different languages, and I’m not just talking about different nationalities. I’m talking about the different words and ways of speaking there are in the world. (Still doesn’t make sense) Okay. Imagine a frat guy talking to a Magic: The Gathering enthusiast. What are they gonna talk about? Maybe small talk, but after that, nothing. Their experiences, ideologies, and their languages are too far apart for them to continue a conversation, and that’s solely based on interests. Imagine the whole world and the many complex lives that live within it. Imagine people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Imagine someone whose life is starkly different from another that they lose the means to connect to each other as individuals and as humans. As I said, different types of people bring about subconscious classification. I guess I went a little further from racism, or maybe there’s another side to it that doesn’t involve race at all. Or maybe that’s called something else. I don’t know. All I know is that unless everyone is exposed to EVERYONE in the world, having everyone getting along with everyone else is just so damn difficult.
