You have got to be kidding. That's unreal. I don't know why people like to target different races. Every race has good and bad in it, why single out certain groups and make them a target? But, I guess that's the condition of some people's hearts. After all of these years of inhabiting and people simply refuse to get along.

I am grateful for what Mr. Khan is going, I don't care what race, creed, or religion he is. People need to learn to accept differences, without it, chaos ensues.

I don't think he faces those in person - at least not literally. But when you check out some of this youtube videos you are more than likely to come across those. Just the byproduct of our social structure I suppose because most of the comments are generally good. Good people do recognize good deeds after all. 

Religion, race, culture, society, nations etc. they simply don't exist for me so I can never get into that kind of mindset to be honest, but majority of people out there do live by these rules (and thrive in them in fact) so they all exist for them.

I totally agree with this thoughts. Certain people or groups when they want to attack or diminish others, they always use their prejudices... Because prejudice is nothing more than ignorance... is not knowing about something and still feel superior.

Well said, maria.

This reminds me of a certain situation that occurred last Christmas. She and I have been friends for ages and the different race component has never been an issue. She is one of my very best friends and is always there for me, and vice versa.

Since life is so busy we typically talk on the phone although we live in neighboring states. The distance is only about 25-30 miles. We meet for dinner, go to the movies, and all that.

Recently she remarried and naturally she wanted me to meet her new hubby. When I arrived at the house a young Hispanic woman opened the door. I found out later that the woman was her new daughter-in-law and they had two beautiful little children.

So we were talking and laughing and having a great time all evening. Later on, I went into the kitchen and was eating some cookies. Before I knew it her new husband had sidled over and sat very close to me. I say sidled, because one minute the seat was empty and when I looked up, he was there.

He started by saying that he had heard me talking and could guess what my political affiliation was. I thought this was odd, but just smiled and nodded. Then he explained that he was of a different party affiliation and I just shrugged. What did I care who he supported.

He started to go into all of these reasons why he was right and I was wrong. I was just laughing to myself. Anyway, turns out he wasn't very politically savvy and much of what he was saying was nonsensical, so finally, after he kept insisting that we have this conversation, I decided to play too.

When I debunked so much of his uninformed information he finally decided to back down, especially after he found out that  my opinion was based on extensive research and that I was well aware of the issues.

So, in a complete about face, he tried to cajole me by telling me that people like me weren't the people, but it was Hispanics that were ruining the country. I almost got sick. His son and daughter-in-law had left by this time and he was letting it all hang out.

I cannot tell you how repulsed I was by this man. He had a beautiful, sweet, thoughtful, and intelligent woman and wonderful grandkids and he was prejudiced towards them!

I don't know how my bestie missed these traits, but I cannot stand this man. My friend is not like that. Her daughter is dating an Indian and she thinks nothing of it. In fact, she loves him. I know her husband is cringing.

Anyway, I love my friend and don't hold him against her, but I cannot be in that man's presence again. We'll have to meet in neutral territory.

I cannot abide intolerance, racism, or hatred under any conditions.

Never accept TT, you should not accept any type of prejudices.
He is a deceiver who does not deserve any of the blessings he has in life.

Their attitude is correct... because you tried to talk to him, to show him the knowledge, but he prefers to remain in ignorance, I'm really sorry about your friend, but you definitely need to keep yourself away from intolerant people like him.
