Copy Ji: Racism is a nasty virus which has been in human society even before the civilization began. Last year George W Bush admitted that USA is a raciest country. Can you believe, the most advance country of the world is affected by this virus in 21st century! A survey showed that Scotish want to have their separate identity. Irish are distinctly discriminated in one of the most civilized country the Great Britain. Roots of racism: Root of racism is the superiority complex. Believe me, most of the people always try to prove that they are superior over other. This is not human nature but this is an impurity in human mind. It is a complex and it comes in different form. Why people like this complex? It is because this complex comes with pleasure. If someone praises you, you get pleasure and you do all short of nasty things to get that pleasure. Since better things got praise, you always try to prove to show yourself better. I am from a great family.... my for fathers were so great....I am related to this great person...my brother scored 2400 in GRE..... all these things are to boost one's own ego and take pleasure of self pride. Racism is one of them. I am from this great caste... my caste is superior... my ancestors used to be great scholars.. great worriers... very rich man and benefactor of many... very compassionate good hearted person... very generous person... These all things makes you feel high and you are addicted to these things... Like any other addictions, addiction of superiority complex comes with trouble. What is the trouble? If you are saying you are superior, you have to compare with others because superiority is a relative term. Unknowingly you happen to make others inferior. Like you everybody doesn't want to be inferior this is where conflict arises. If somebody makes you feel inferior it hurts you and hatred arises for the person. This is the science of racism. Superiority complex is the cause of Racism. .. Superior feeling gives you pleasure ... and you are addicted to that pleasure. West has evolved physically but not mentally and genetically. People in the west share the same subtle human values as the people in the entire world. Superiority is a very subtle complex which has infected almost all the human race. This is why you see racism even in civilized west as well. Complexes are negative, so they exist in animal world as well. All animals try to prove themselves stronger then their competitors...Animals have only one thing to show ie physical strength.. unlike them, humans have so many things and fields to show off... Race is one of them. Racism is an individual problem. It can not be triggered until it is in your mind. I agree there is huge racism in Sajha but if you want to believe me it doesn't effect me at all. If you go few thousand years back you will find... you, someone who is considered today inferior to you and someone who is considered today superior to you, had the same fore father.....If you go few millions years back, you will find we all are homosapien, decedent a same monkey.
