This is the 21st century. Mankind has gone through lots of critical and
dangerous times. A lot of our wars have been fought just because of the distribution of power. The atrocious and despicable treatment of black slaves in the US and the determined holocaust of Jewish people during World War II are just two examples of racially motivated humiliation and mistreatment of human beings. Today, we have to face cultural racism, rooting in prejudices and stereotypes which are still being supported and spread by lots of people.
