I don't know if we can ever develop a system of law or education
that will ensure this. At the end of the day, it's a case of
individuals dealing with individuals.
Every race had its fair share of jerks and really nice people. On
account of this, it's simply not logical to say he's of this race,
so he must be rude or arrogant. We need to take each person we come
across as an individual.
A lot of what we're seeing is driven by jealousy and poor
self-esteem. Personally, if I fail to get something that I'm after,
the first thing I would be asking myself is, "How did I screw that
up, and how do I get it right the next time?". To look for excuses
and say that I didn't get it because of my race is a waste of time:
that time is better spent fixing the problem, and if the problem is
indeed race-based, then I'd be wasting my time going there again
anyway.
The problem most people have is that thinking constructively takes
too much energy for thier liking - they would rather have a blanket
excuse for everything that they can apply without too much thought,
and without too much self-examination. It doesn't matter even if it
hovers at the edge of their consciousness that their excuse doesn't
work - it's convenient and so they'll go with that.
