Stop. Just stop.

Racism is obsolete.
The Human Genome Project began in the early 90’s.  Its goal was first to write down and discover every base pair on human DNA.  Later, they decoded the base pairs and discovered the functions of all of the genes.
But my point is more in the discovery of the base pairs.  They discovered that humans are 99.9% genetically identical.  In that .1% of variance, humans have found hundreds of reasons to discriminate against each other.  It seems illogical that we can discriminate against people whom are 99.9% exactly like ourselves, but humans as a whole are an extremely irrational species.
We have so little variance in our genes because we are such a young species.
There’s not really a whole lot to say about this.  It just doesn’t make sense to me that we are all SO alike, and yet can be so prejudiced.  Intolerance literally makes me want to punch people in the face.  Not trying to like...totally shout out the fact that I'm asian, but BEING asian, I've gotten a lot of crap about stereotypes.  But since I'm basically you, a few base pairs off, how the heck can you say all the things that you do.  It's rude, and now that we know how closely all humans are related, completely obsolete.
