why do people think that if someone has a different skin color they are different and weird.?

Because some people are afraid of people that are different or look different than they are. Or they are just racist. Either way, people need to realize that it's just skin, inside we're all the same.

Racism is wrong, since people shouldn't be judged by their colors, especially since we all human being, but no matter what we do, even people that say they're non racist still sometimes judge by color, its just how we were raised and all our experience of one's race

Well, I don't like the term "coloured" for people that have dark skin. It's rude and it's wrong. Then what does that make me, clear? Invsible? Why do we have to pay so much attention to people's skin colour? Why can't we see people as people? We all breath, bleed and breed the same ways. I don't see a difference. I just see people.

I strongly agree with u on every1 being equal. Seriously, thats how I think. I don't think that the color of a person determines how smart they are, or who they are. However, I think some people are racist because they see difference as something bad.

I dont know it seems as though some people no matter who they are think of other people as something different.  No one seems to take the time anymore to think about how others live and I think thats what you are getting at?

I actually feel that they are dumber than the rest of us sometimes. This is obviously a false belief that has stuck in my mind because the prejudices my mom had while I was growing up, but truth is a person's hair colour is not an indication of intelligence or anything else really.

Don't know what you are talking about but , different colors look different on different people, whether man or woman everyone has  a certain color that looks good with their skin tone or eye color.  You just have to experiment

Because, some time people act like  an ignorant,, some time they act so strange, and sometime think to have everything just by skin color..... I am a hispanic girl and i  understand your feeling too,, ´cause i came here when i was 3 years old,, but i used to feel the difference,,, some time people don´t measure the words and expression to talk to another person,,,, and some time people forget from where they came from, theirs ancestors and theirs cultures.... But every now and them , in some space of the whole world will be an equal time... and the equal feelings and senses for everybody........and i think that time it ns´t  far.... byee...

People all over the world can dislike people who are different.\nDifferent skin tone, language, customs, height or weight.\n\nI am an american, a white american and a male. The USA is a muticultural country. We have people from all over the ethnic and racial spectrum. It took many generations to enact laws to allow all people of color to be equal under our laws.\n\nIt seems to be a human trait to avoid prople who are different...The color of a persons skin seems to be one way to exclude people from other peoples society.\n\nIf a person has something in common with another individual....Education, sports, entertainment or family values, then the color differences will disappear. That has been the case in the USA. People are not born lazy, white or black....They are not born less intelligent, white or Brown. They are not born viloent, Yellow or white skin.\n\nSocial conditions dertermine a person's behavior in many ways.\nA person born into poverty has an almost impossible chance to suceed in any society.....skin color has little to do with it.\n\nDiscrimination and hatred is counter productive to the advancement of any society.\n\nWe are all the same in the eyes of the Law and perhaps in the eyes of God, if you believe in God.\n\nEach of us in a small way can impact our own society...Tolernace, respect, understanding. Also, we have an obligation to help those in need....Black, Yellow , brown or white.\n\nWe may never eliminate discrimination against whites or Blacks...But, we must continue to try. One day a blueyed person may be discriminated by brown eyed people.\n\nConclusion: No Race is born lazy, dirty or vilolent....I see little difference between white people born in povety in a coal minning town or a person of color born in  povety in a ghetto or a Native American born into povety on an "Indian reservation" They all share one thing is common: Povety.\n\nOne day, we could be very poor and have little hope of success.\nMany times it is just a matter of circumstances that determine our future. Ty for the great question.  Billy

We have a tendency to demonized things that are different, or that we don't understand.\n\nIt is a matter of laziness and ignorance.   It takes time and an open mind to understand and accept the diversity that makes society wonderful.  Unfortunately too few people possess that.\n\nAnd difference is potentially bothersome.  As long as it puts us outside of the "comfort zone" we have established for ourselves.

A common belief among people is that different is wrong. Like if one person does not fit perfectly into the little box that is considered to be "normal" then there is something wrong with you. For instance, being gay to many people is "wrong" but when asked why the best they can come up with is because it is wrong. It is not wrong it is just different than what they are used too.

Because they lack an identity of their own.  They don't know who they are, so they try to fit in with someone that they aren't.  They think by acting like a different group of people, that different group will accept that as "one of their own" instead of accepting them as who they are when they aren't acting.

Short answer is they are idiots.  I see a human being the same as me, no matter their skin tone.

because people are small minded and cant accept the fact that people may be different from them and even though they are they have feelings of their own.

THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN ENOUGH OF THAT SPECIFIC RACE TO IDENTIFY ANY DIFFERENCE. ALSO, IT COULD JUST BE OUT OF PURE IGNORANCE AND THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT THEY LOOK A CERTAIN WAY BASED OFF OF STEREOTYPES.\n\nEXAMPLE- THEY THINK ALL BLACKS HAVE WIDE NOSES....NOT TRUE\n                     THEY THINK ALL BLACKS ONLY HAVE BLACK HAIR... NOT TRUE\n                     THEY THINK BLACKS ONLY HAVE BROWN EYES... NOT TRUE\n                      THEY THINK ALL BLACKS HAVE BIG LIPS... NOT TRUE EITHER\n I THINK YOU GET THE POINT. ALSO HOW CAN WE LOOK ALIKE WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFENT SHADES OF SKIN COLOR.\nWHO KNOWS WHAT THEY REALLY SEE WHEN THEY LOOK AT US

Some peoples are borow-minded or tink like peoples in 15-17 century who divised the world by races... Sometime people don't find emselfes qualities so they try to persuade everyone their race is the best for keep confience in oneself. The are certainly scared that people could find them ''weak'' or stuff so they say: ''Ah! I'm white/black so I'm the best'', non-sense argument.
