Some people don't realize thier own true potential. Most don't know others. Humans have this thing on going habit of classifing everything. Which, in the long run means all of us has been put into neatly organized into catorgories. Be it native be it chinese. Yeah we are diffrent, but why is it such a big deal?

Good Post!

I agree that the catagorizing of people is stupid. Not just that, it`s racist!
I heard someone once say, "I don`t understand what the deal is with racism. Don`t people see that we all chocolate! Some are dark chocolate, some are milk chocolate, some are white chocoloate....etc., but on the inside, we all sugar!

And it`s true! We`re all as beautiful and good as each other. And it`s that catagorizing of people that creates differences in our abilities to access different things....again, injustice, racism.

We are all one body, and can`t thrive unless we work together!

Perhaps people categorize others because of the way they were brought up or educated. We do live in a dominantly explicit society where everything is explained or asked to be so, and mystery is not well tolerated. Homogenization is preferred to diversification because homogenized familiar ideas, people, lifestyles, or whatever other category of thing, confirms a person's sense of identity and place in the world whereas different and diverse things seem to negate it. That's why it is a big deal.
Native people center their belief system on the circle, where nothing is hidden, and everything returns to what it once was, there are no categories, there are only different expressions of a same thing. This is called a holistic world view. It is the idea that all the properties of a given system cannot be determined or explained by its component parts alone.

That is just it.

We are taught racism. When we are born we cannot create the idea of classifying preople, things, expression...etc, on our own. It is the world we live that gives us these ideas of racsim. Also with that in mind, it is the people that live on this big blue planet that can change our own way of thinking.
