Re: Way OT: Racism
In the movie/two-part miniseries "Nuremberg", about the Nuremberg trails after WWII, at one point Reichsmarschal Goering says to a (Jewish) chaplain: "Aren't the racial segregation laws in the US against black people exactly the same as our laws against Jews?"
People are people. A human being is a human being. No more, no less. I respect any and all people, unless they do not respect other people - especially if that lack of respect is for a large group of people (Muslims, homosexuals, Jews, etc.). I have absolutely NO respect for those people. Everyone else is equal in my eyes, no exceptions. People are limited only by their capacities, not race, ethnicity, religion, etc. If I were to become a manager later on, and I want to promote a person, I would not choose one person over the other because of skin color or sexual preferences and such. I would choose people over others because of their skills and capacities.
