I remember this story of how a caucasian woman who was very convinced that an african-american was the one responsible of raping her. She said that she could recognize how he looked like, his features et all.

But in the end, she convicted the wrong person and he was in jail for several years. But it wasnt entirely her fault because people of different races do find it difficult to distinguish others.

Sometimes I cannot tell between Gwynneth Paltrow and Lisa Kudrow. But its easier for me to tell between Japanese, Koreans and Chinese. :P

and to answer ur question: If we emphasized so much on race, does that make us racist? .. YES. To me it is

Well in my opinion, racism is a learned behaviour from the people around us, even our parents

It’s inevitable not to bump into these lots. if the parents method and handling the kids about racial issues is ’sound’, i think even in the company of someone who has something against other than his ethnicity, he/she able to think for oneself and form a sound judgement

Yes, I do agree that its important for us to remember our roots, but at the same time, does this act bring about the propagation of racism? What do you think?

Over the years, I realise how much more common we are. The deeper you get into the business of culture and heritage, the more you realise how much in common we have with each other. Many values, principles, traditions and morals are common across most religions and cultures.

My wish is for the world to one day realise this and to try to live with each other in greater peace and harmony. What’s happening right now in Iraq and Afghanistan is simply horrific and could be reversed if we learn to understand each other and to respect our differences.

You’re welcome
