Race, Today and In the Future

With all the talk of race and ethnicity and the problems that have been brought on because of this kinds of topics, I have had cause to wonder, where did it all originate? What sparked humanity to believe that certain skin colors or traits are better than others? It truly seems as CRT states, that racism is part of humanity, and has been for many years. This is a flaw that humanity seems doomed to always have as well, because no matter what, certain groups, specifically those in the majority, will take advantage of those who are in the minority. It is an inherit part of human nature. As much as people would like to admit that race does not affect them, this statement will never be entirely true. People will always place importance on their heritage, and will be biased in the belief that their heritage is more important than others. But there is hope. As society has continued to progress, there has been glimmers of change. More and more people are accepting other cultures, and as was stated in class today, the numbers of multicultural marriages are on the rise. The lines that used to define different racial groups are changing, and more people of varying cultures are making their way to the United States. If this all continues, there seems like there is little standing in the way between society now and a future of acceptance for all cultures.
