There will always be racism, just as there will always be thieves, murderers, and overclocking cheaters. There will also always be kindness, respect, honor and loyalty. No system can ever change that.

Think of any class, restaurant, office, park, baseball game you've ever been to. You like some people there. You're indifferent to some people there. And you can't stand some people there. There's no culture, race, religion, etc. that has a monopoly on either desirable characters or on scumbags.

I think a little league game can illustrate the difference between culturism and racism. There's nothing wrong with rooting for your boy and hoping his team outperforms the other. The shared identity brings people closer and feels good. But it's not OK to take baseball bats to the other team's knees because they wear purple shirts instead of yellow ones. That's racism.

I personally like diversity in life. My wife's natural chocolate hair is the sexiest, but that doesn't mean I don't also enjoy when she goes blond or red.

I'm a tolerant guy.
