To this person, Racism seems like an issue that shouldn't be hard to overcome. Education, mentoring, life experience, exposure to other cultures, basic empathy and rudimentary reason should all combine to relegate racism to the rubbish bin. Sadly, "thanks" to some politicians, racism is experiencing a revival. If we can't solve racism, how can we solve other issues that present an even bigger, if not existential, threat to life on this planet?
