i think it is so important for the youth of today to mingle with people that they once regarded as other. how else are we to rid society of such racist ignorance? With so much else going on in the world- for example war in iraq, tribal warfare in Kenya and innocent children going missing- would it not make more sense for an almagamation of all people, regardless of race, to combat the real ills, the REAL problems of society. To engourage children at a young age to mix would, one could only hope see a decline in gangs and also, lets face it, try and change the views of older generations prehaps, for example we would see honor killings rightfully dissappear. so much needs to change-and as individuals we are the ones to do it.
