Race
I would agree that "Race evolved as a world view, a body of prejudgements that distorts our ideas about human indifference." this statement truly defines for me what I consider to be a huge problem in our society. We know the perceptions that are associated with every race and we instantly judge these people because of it. I think that we should get rid of the term "race" and instead use the word ethnicity. A person who is known as "white" has the possibility to be thousands of different ethnicities. Instead of "african- american" "white" "asian" and "middle-eastern" we should look at people based on their ethnicity and not on their race. It can't be denied that people are different but we need to label them differently and then we might have a better interaction between people.
