Fairness in American Society

America speaks of being all for liberty and fairness yet prejudices in the American Society have not yet ceased. We must learn to join as brothers and sisters all as friends. Even today, you see people walking on the other side of the street when they see an African-American, or laughing when they see an Asian speaking in their own language. You see people calling people of the Islamic religion terrorists or calling anyone who is very faithful to their religion a lunatic! People also make fun of or look down upon people with disabilities. A common prejudice you hear is against women or men. None of these things are controllable. But that fact should not be used for persuasion against prejudice because it is still saying that these traits are bad, but just that the people shouldn't be discriminated against because of them because they are uncontrollable. But, we should say that color, religion, disabilities, and gender ARE NO difference. We are all the same in that we are human beings, and yet we are all unique in our personalities and our beliefs.
