But on the other hand, maybe Racism is normal? Maybe it's just part of being a human being and it's in our nature?

I think Ronald Reagan had a good point:

"In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think, how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world."

Maybe that's the only way it ever will happen?
