Why do some people judge by the color of your skin?

Question

Why do some people judge by the color of your skin?

Answer

Its easy. Its much easier to generalize the behaviour of a small group of people based on skin colour, ethnicity or religion rather than to seek out other explanations e.g., access to health and education. brbrBesides, once we believe something about another group we humans tend to only look for behaviours that help substantiate those beliefs. Thus perpetuating a myth and helping to entrench it in popular culture and society at large. We see it played out everyday in the media and in our communities. Its the same reason why people look at me and automatically assume I am from another country, quotoh, where are you from?quotbrbrIve learned to live with the idea that I cant change people and educate everyone. I can only work on changing myself and take every opportunity for dialogue.
