What you're saying is true, sorta. Clearly, the bigger issue is money, and greed, and rich vs poor. And racism IS just some stupid thing that we invented in our heads, but because we invented it, it is real. It's real until people stop thinking that way and it goes away. However, it's not an American thing- it's a human thing. In Turkey, the Kurds are seen as 3rd class citizens. In Eastern Europe, the gypsies are seen as third class citizens. In Mexico, the indigenous natives aren't so much hated but they are considered ignorant, simple people by the more sophisticated populace that comes from mixed Spanish and Mexican blood. And that's just 3 examples- look at Rwanda, where half the black population killed the other half- to most Americans, they all look the same, yet to them, these minor distinctions are still reason enough to hate... and it wasn't even money and greed, because both sides were poor. It was truly connected to race, or "race" as they definied it. Totally idiotic
