the race card needs to be burned...

what do you mean?

Integration of all peoples into one single group (which includes treating each other as individuals, and not as a certain race), and not just a collection of separate, and not necessarily always equal, groups.

In your opinion..what is the biggest racial problem facing the 21st century? Why?

---

I don't consider any problems to be truly racial. They're almost always ethnic/cultural/religious.

So, I'd say the only real racial problems facing the "world" (the US) today are the classics; inferior position of blacks in society, institutionalized/private racism, perpetually unfulfilled promises to the American Aboriginals... Yeh.

This but also allowing ppl to practice their own culture as well at their home or in public and with their friends, family and others. (Like festivals, parties, holidays, etc...)

People would be free to engage in that sort of thing.  Nobody would be stopping them.

However, over time as people and cultures intermix, the natural result is the creation of a single, new hybrid people / culture.  This is what things should be heading towards.  But don't me wrong - new people and cultures will always be added as time goes on.  It's a never ending process.

1. a new hybrid culture can be created (we're already doing it somewhat)
2. some cultural stuff from all those different countries/peoples are preserved by purists and traditionalists and enjoyed by everybody.
3. the two types exist peacefully without conflicting because no one is trying to "impose" stuff.
4. individual ppl communicate with each other using #1 and celebrate their origins/heritage (or the heritage of their friends) using #2

How does that sound?
