Are you ready? You might know it already. The big secret is this….. I’m a racist, you’re a racist, we’re all racists (potentially anyway). Whether we like it or not, we’ve all entertained racist thoughts or racist stereotypes based on our differences from other people...

It’s natural though; a consequence of the way the mind works. Our brains tend to analyze things and people in terms of visible and non-visible categories and over time make judgments and draw conclusions about their findings. The challenge that we face in our daily lives is to overcome this natural tendency, and disregard these pre-existing conclusions in our interactions with the new people that we meet. It’s not a secret really, but, people who live off stereotypes and make undue assumptions seem not to know about this.
