Race to the end

Race is only defined because of society and the way some believe they have superiority over others. I grew up over seas and was immersed in many different ethnic backgrounds and races in an international school. I was raised to believe that we are all just people. I like many others who went to that school were ex pats whose parents had found work over seas. We even had a day called "United Nations Day" were you would wear traditional clothing or apparel customary to your heritage. Race is the line where old traditions are sought to be kept, such as "sticking or marrying to your own kind". If we celebrated more similarities than our differences the world would be more peaceful. Older generations tend to be less accepting of races mixing, but if you look at generations that grew up after civil rights they are much more accepting of races mixing. Those who were born in our generation with hatred for a race are either taught by their preceding/older  generation or took an idea and blew it up out of proportion. Take Arabs or muslims for example, 9/11 was the result of a very small population of all arabs and muslims. Those extremists gave birth to ideas that all arabs are terrorists because they share the same religion or are from the same region. Blacks have been stereotyped to be uneducated and latinos are labeled as gang bangers. But these are just the stereotypical cases. In a few centuries if the human population still inhibits the earth,  races will almost cease to exist. Because they will all have been mixing and everyone will be a part of almost every "race".
