Is Mankind's endeavor of integration of all races it's biggest failure?

Yes and no, If it is done by choice it's ok but if it is forced upon society it is bad. \nWhat has been happening is by force and it is making life bad for everyone. \nPeople should have the choice of who they accept as friends and the space to get away from each other if necessary.

I fail to see what the problem is, racial tensions exist for all races, if they cannot get along let them fight it out.

There are way too many people who are of mixed racial backgrounds (myself included) for this to even be possible.\nBesides haven't we established equal rights for all men women and children as our goal as a society?

Jeez, calm the hell down. I can't believe that you are so sensitive to things. Look, I agree there are some things on here that are racist and some blatantly racist. But the easiest thing to do is either go to a different category, or report the questioner. Do not bring Iraq into this. This is different ok. This ethnic diversity in this country is unlike any other in the world. The largest human experiment referred to as a melting pot is the first and only of its kind in human history. In the past, when a race first meets another race, they want to kill them, conquer them, and this makes them feel superior. I realize there are exceptions to this but the majority of the time this is the truth. So its human nature to do this. Its just like if there is a huge room full of people of all races with the lights off, you will talk to and be with whoever is next to you but once the lights go on, all races will eventually segregate on their own over time. This is human nature. But what can be done is tolerate those who are unlike yourself. This is how we have grown as a nation and why we are so strong today. Most other countries have one major minority group. The US has every minority, so if someone tells you or I that they aren’t as racist in Japan or France, that’s because they aren’t in a melting pot society where they are forced to deal with human instincts regarding other races on a daily basis and create biases and stereotypes. So in reality, this country is one of the least racist because the majority of society here has learned tolerance. I am white, and I have been racially discriminated against and profiled. I live in an area where if you are white, you are either lost, or rich and lost. So I get f-ed with all the time. But I have thick skin. You sir do not. I am sad to see that someone who has a genuine ability to convey their feelings in a grammatical and tactful way is going to throw that away because of some a-holes on computers somewhere. A person’s input in these answer columns are very important to some people and I myself have felt like this is the only place to have someone respond to a problem I have. Has anyone benefited from your input in a crisis of their own? When someone chooses you as a best answer, do you feel like you have helped someone? Well I hope you reconsider and just keep helping those you can. If not, fare thee well. I hope the world benefits from you another way.

It's a sad fact that there are racists in every race and culture.There is even racism among people of the same race toward each other.\nYep,there are 'asteroid orifices' of every color;jerks will be jerks no matter the color of their skin.

We are all human. The only difference at times would be skin color, cultural and religious beliefs. Certainly nothing that should make one race feel superior to any other!

It's not necessarily my personal case, because I think there's nothing more interesting than diversity in the world and I'm happily married to a man that couldn't be from a more different culture and background than mine.\nBut when I think why most of the human race can't stand each other, I come to the conclusion that even when we have intelligent brains that separate us from the monkeys, as primitive as it might sound, we're still animals after all, it's in our DNA, our genes, that's the way nature is. \nI don't deny that in most cases people can't stand each other just because they're ignorant or full of hatred, but we also have to consider the nature factor as well, many people feel more comfortable with familiar things to them, what they're used to or the way and the place they grew up, the same race, same religion, same culture etc...without having anything to do with racism or hatred they just don't accept change or anyhting different from them, their believes or lives so easily.\nI don't think human race will ever be completely united, number one, becuase there is too much ignorance and intolerance out there and it's only getting worse by the hour, and number two, just for the simple fact that people are too different, you can have a simple example from all kinds of animals in nature out there, even when they belong to the same family, different species simply can't live with each other, you will never get a gorilla to live with a orangutan or a lion to live with a cheetah. \nSadly in some cases and hopelessly in others, some people are still too attached to their animal instincts, it's not the way it should be, but unfortunately, it's just the way it is for millions of people.

oh yes! the way we are goin there is no other end... the problem we have is lack of tolerance and i doubt anything short of heavenly intervention(not happening btw) can stop this bitter end which is a testimony to the inadequecy of the human race...

Of course not !!!!!\nThere are good and bad people everywhere !\nSome caucasians think for some reason that they are superior...GEE.....we were climbing the trees when China was highly developed.\nI get on with oriental and Indian people.....maybe because I lived in that part of the world and did my best to make friends and get to know them.\nThere is so much you can learn from other people really\n(I am white)

Yeah...this power struggle thing really gets to me too...Unfortunately we as a species have not yet reached a higher conciseness...although some of us are well on our way(including you by the sound of things) and struggle over this territory or that one has been going on since man kind stopped nomadic migration and started up with agriculture and ,,,this plot of land belongs to me and that plot of land belongs to you,...until we find a way to rise above this as a species, I do not see any real hope of improvement!

Not even we all were of the same race , religion, etc. would there be peace, because the human spirit has a lust for POWER and mostly power over the same sex in order to be more popular to the opposite sex. The need to breed is very power-full indeed and we cannot escape it.

it could work!\n\nbut only until you got human beings involved.\n\nthere are no utopias...

What' the saying; bird of the same feather flock together.  I don't think multiracial societies are the key to peace. About the only thing we do know for sure is where the cure has to start.  It has to start in the home, the basic building block for any community or country.  Nothing good will happen in your statehouse, or in your schoolhouse, if it does not start, and is not sustained, in your own house!

First of all, how do you really define "race"? You could divide people into a few huge categories, or many smaller ones. Still, genetically, there's really not as much difference between individuals as you might think.\n\nSecondly, in the future (presuming that humanity will survive another 30,000 years may be a mistake), the "racial boundries" will have shifted due to travel and other factors. Groups of people that we currently lump together could be split apart (or vice versa), and "new" races will be created.\n\nThere is always the question of whether the concept of "race" will exist in the future. But that's another post...

THE BIGGEST LOOPHOLE THE WORLD HAS EVER WITNESSED IS THE RACE CARD.\n\nIT ALWAYS WORKS!!!!!!!\n\ni will take my CAPS off now, and i will calm down, just like my doctor told me. arrrrrrr thats better.

I think there's a screw loose in all humans that acts as a form of population control. This, of course, is aggression. For all the sickness and famine and natural disasters, we're still spreading across the globe in a hurry and the failsafe to keep our numbers down is war. Nasty, but it seems to be the case. I could suggest alternatives (Olympic-style competitions to attain land or what have you) but I doubt anyone would adhere to them. Perchance the best hope we have is space travel, whereby the human race can spread as it needs to and will have less need to club each other to death for the sake of a patch of dirt.
