Racial identity is a nessesary factor in identifying ones cultural compatibility, yes, because lets say you were white and you were in a situation where you had to choose between a group of caucasians and a group of inner city black people. Of course you would choose the group of caucasians because it is a group that you can visibly relate to. That isn't the issue. Racism though is the ignorance of the fact that you are both of the same species, you both have feelings, and you both have compassion for others. Some people do lack compassion and those are generally bad people, but by condemning an entire group of people because you saw one muslim blow himself up, or another gang shooting on the news is very easy but it is not right. It is up to everyone to stop classifying people as good or bad and just try and relate to the things that we do share. It might be more than you think.
