Race, does it mean anything?

I am American and I don't think about a person's race and I don't know anyone who does. In reading this I am inclined to think it is YOU who thinks about race. You sayyou work longer and harder than your "WHITE counterpart". What do you do for work? I would ask why he is making more. It doesn't sound as if you are in America because here you would get equal pay for equal work and you would not be working all those hours for no pay. Not sure why you are blaming America or white people but it doesn't sound like anything that'd happen in this country.

Sorry for how you feel and what you have gone through. The superiority complex will always be there for those who thinks that there are better than others but I believe in fair game and whatever you do to other person will one day be done to you. It is hurting and annoying to see other people getting promoted when in deed you have more experience but because there is nothing much you can do, try to be patient and ask God to give you a better job and remember that, God is watching over you and whatever you are going through. Be proud of your race because you are special and wonderfully made.

I believe that the problem begins in our tendence to form small and closed groups, that may be based on color, religion, nationality,etc, that comes from our distant past, and, makes dificult to accept those who are "diferent". This, of course, is a non-valid behaviour in today´s world, actually, it only talks bad of the people with such backward thinking. Of course, race does not mean anything, also, is not important what religion, political thinking, or place of origin a person has, all, what should be important, in the working field, should be his/her performance, and, in the personal level, it should matter even less. I suffered more or less the same as you, while living in the US for a shor period, studying, and, I know that can be depressing, specially if you are alone, wich was my case, but, I tell you, that this is something that does not last long, try to stablish relationship with some fellow worker, there is always people with a more open mind, and don´t pay much attention to those who wants to misvalue you, unless there is violence involved, words don´t hurt you, unless you pay attention to them. Do the best you can, and, soon, you´ll see thing improving, I sincerely hope so.

I am also feeling very bad about the problem you are facing. I know all people are not same but some are there and things things difficult for others. It happens around the world in different kinds, some do partiality in race, some in religion, some in locality or regions etc. God give them the right thinking.

I'm sorry for what your going through. It's definitely not right. Not all white people are like that though. I don't look at other races that way. I have dated other races and I did not feel like they were any less than me. Matter of fact with one guy I felt much less than him because he had a career with a really nice house and I wasn't sure at the time what I even wanted to do with my life. I absolutely know racism exists here and I for one hate it. It is unfair. I wish there was something we could all do to completely get rid of it. It would be a much more peaceful world. I can still hope that someday somehow racism will stop...In all directions no matter what race you are, we are all people made in God's image and thats the way people should see it...

In my opinion race is merely the different way a person's ancestors adapted to their environment and nothing more. In the end it is just that. Sure there are some genetic differences but that is only the cosmetic genes. It is like different sub-species of wolf, or different kinds of cats. Coloration, size and so forth is just how their bodies adapted to their surroundings. People should see us all as one species, rather than several races. We are all members of one race: mankind. That's all I think.

It is surprising to hear that race colour etc are still bringing depression to people in a nation like America. I am in India and Mahatma Gandhi, our nation father was the first man to fight against it in S.Africa.
