Racism: Genetics or A Fact of Life? Racism. A word
that means a lot of things to many people. To
some, that word is the description of a way of
life (or part of the genetic code) to others it is
a repulsive term that represents
closed-mindedness. In my own eyes, there are no
Blacks, no Asians, and no Hispanics; there is only
one race, and that race is HUMAN. No matter what
our color or physical features may be, it all
boils down to the fact that we are all HUMAN. This
is yet another concept that...

Stanley, but in my opinion it is unfair to hate
Stanley for actions and characteristics that he
has little or no control over. Stanley's actions
are largely motivated by his wish to protect his
