just saying

a professor once showed a documentary on dr. martin luther king and the civil rights movement of the 1960's. the general sentiment around the room was something along the lines of "those stupid, ignorant white southerners; thank god that's in the past." but discrimination, time and time again, has proven to be just as present today as it was ever - not as apparent for sure, but present nonetheless. people hold different prejudices against different peoples, but i find that being self-centered is almost always the reason cited. "those indians are selfish cheats." "jews only care about their own bank accounts." "the french are elitist pricks." "koreans are only selfless when around other koreans." maybe it would help if people would just realize that perhaps we are all self-centered as humans...
