I would call them by their name. Yes that's right. It is wrong to be racist and judgemental especially about the color of a person's skin. I think we are all made equal and beautiful in the eyes of God and I don't understand why we need to discriminate between each other's color caste and creed. We are all equal and come from the dust and to the dust we shall return so why judge one another? There is no such thing as dark or fair in my eyes. We are all beautiful and unique in our own way!

Absolutely. So do I. We shouldn't categorize people according to their color caste or creed.

Yes thats to the point. No one should judge. But then there are some people who wont mix with a dark skinned person just because he or she is white. It is really sad.

@skysnap Yes and some people actually find differences. It is a dangerous combo which we shouldnt touch.

Sadly, it is human nature, and was probably an evolutionary advantage, to fear people who are different. I would have hoped we would have evolved beyond that by now and looked for common ground to bring us together rather than differences to tear us apart.

@sabtraversa I suspect that in a few hundred years it will appear odd for someone to be either fully white, Asian or black. But don't worry, humans will still find something to hate about each other.

@WorDazza Yes thats absolutely right. We will always find a way of hating, of being jealous and judgmental. I dont know why we cant all just get along.

I would call them by their name. Just like I would any other person. If I didn't know their name then I would simply ask them for it.

These are somethings we came on this earth just to witness and to realize we cant change anything but only to try and hide it as much as we can. I understand when you said we're all the same, 90% of human physical built are the same the other 10% are the most powerful of our system and does not visible to our eyes. This 10% is consist of our thoughts, our mindset, our beliefs and we could go on, we might convince someone today but that's a way of hiding his/her real beliefs for a while, but one day that person real 10% will have to come out. We can try to fix it but we cant! And it pains our hearts.
