Im not sure whether or not that was sarcasm, but I'm going to run with it anyway. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars out there for college scholorships, for example. My caucasian friend (as a joke) said he was black on his SAT forms. He got about $30,000 in scholorship applications, but they were all taken away when they learned he was white. That really isnt surprising if you think about it, but how about this: we all know how many scholorships there are out there for being black. But have you ever seen a scholorship for just being white? No, of course not, that would be racist. I have made my point.


Precisely. You can't change people's attitudes with laws, and special opportunities to "compensate" for those attitudes only perpetuate them. In my opinion, a special place in hell should be reserved for the demogogues who secure their influence by heightening the tension between the races.

To veer back on topic, a rough quote from a Larry Niven novel: "Louis found xenophobes stupid. The universe would be a boring place with only humans to talk to."

I agree completely. I'm tired of having so much racial tension between people. Yes you're black. Yes, you're white. And guess what, you're Indian. Once we can get pass this obviously minor dilemma, we can start focusing on what really matters.

And yes, I think the world would be a very intersting place if there were another race as intelligent as humans. But I'll bet the government would try to deem them a threat or something....good ol' democracy.

Honestly, time is possibly the best way in addition to laws to lead a civilization in the right
path.

Persaonly if there was a kediran like Lura, I probably would be stressed out protecting her. :roll:
