Race Relations

Hi! It's already December. How fast time passes! Winter vacation will come soon! Yahoo~~~!!!However, i think the rest of the days until winter vacation will be really really busy. I have to work hard. I want winter vacation comes soon.
Today, in Peter's class, Yuki and I had a presentation about race relations. I think it is very deep problem and is defficult to solve. We mainly talked about the situation in the United States, issues about native americans and whites people. I live in Japan and usually, i do not face the racial problems, but i think there are some but very serrous racial problems in Japan, like korean, ainu. It is wrong that certain group of people are discriminated or treated unfairly because of their race even though we are all same human beings. It is very difficult to solve racial problems but this problem have to be solved as soon as possible. As a first step, i think it is important know about people who are different race. By knowing them, I think we can realize that we are same and difference is only appearance. I hope that people see other people not by their appearance or race, but by their characteristics.
