Well, that's pretty much the definition of racism, isn't it, looking down on people because of the color of their skin? You were born with the skin that you're in.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963

It's much worse for black people in America than it is for white people just about anywhere, but that attitude is harmful as well.
