Obviously people have similarities in many ways as well as different in many others, the fact is we are all unique but we tend to associate ourselves with people of similar interests, many of us make friends doing the activities that are meaningful to us. Such as team mates, or class mates, co-workers, etc.
What about within child hood, if we are taught that everyone is equal, everyone is the same essentially, we form friends based on that persons personality traits and nothing else, I mean in my personal experience I would say that the diversity within schools now days should essentially be eliminating the majority of discrimination. And I feel as though it essentially is, due to the fact that people share interests regardless of race or ethnicity, I believe the world is changing to the point where everyone is judged based off of their own personality that the barrier of race and stereotypes will soon wither, maybe thats just wishful thinking, however I have faith in the people and I believe the world will soon embrace people for what they have to offer, not to shun them aside.
