Racism

Racism is what one defines as 

"Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."

And having to live and work in the world today, I see that such behavior had become such a norm that many are falling a victim to it and some are even failing to see that they are guilty of being racist themselves

As I grow and having to face the "real world", I find it a waste that many are losing out on what I can offer just because they have a false belief or their own perception towards a specific race.
And it goes without saying that my circle of friends and colleagues are not spared from it too. 
There are many who thinks that they are superior than many other simply because they believe their race is better.

Often time, regardless of how hardworking or gifted a person may be, racism is one factor that distorts one's perception of others. They are judged even before given the chance to prove themselves.

It's such a pity that all the racist individuals out there are losing out on some of the best experience simply because they allow their false perception to stand in the way. 

To me, 
such individuals are just arrogant and prideful and no one can really help them unless they choose to help themselves first! And as for me, 
I will choose not to waste my effort on you.

Dear all racist individuals out there, 
As much as I too was a victim of racism before, the person that I feel more sorry for is you!

Your Truly,
