I might have written these same thoughts in a different way, but I consider this post simply ‘Magnificent.’ And this is the first time I am using this adjective for a Reblog.
As far as Racism goes, it is not just any One country. Just days ago, We had news that persons from the North East of India, working in the state of Karnataka, — supposed to be an Educated state too — were beaten up just because they could not speak the local language.

A good time to reflect that We All have our Pasts and our Sins, and that We would do well to do things about them.
High Kudos to Rachel. 🙂

Survival of the fittest is everything- so the saying…
