The world order will change sooner or later

At some point in future the world will learn to see human beings as citizens of the planet earth. Period.

At the moment, we forget that China Town’s been in existent in parts of the UK for example, for centuries and black people have been in the UK for generations. There is nothing such as a typical Brit. Brits are Caucasian, Black, Brown and other colours (including mixed race). They all belong. If we trace back a thousand years, those folks back then, look nothing like the folks here in the 19th century.

Going to China or Japan and asking a Caucasian: “where are you from?” is still a valid question, but asking a Chinese-looking person the same question in the US or the UK is very naive, as chances are, they as British or American as the Caucasian standing next to them

Society must learn that times have changed. There is no single definition of what a Brit or an Italian or a Spaniard looks like. They can be Caucasian, Black, Brown or other. They are not from anywhere else, same as Caucasians in Australia, Canada or USA are not asked: “where are you from? (given that the original inhabitants of those countries are not Caucasian), neither would one ask a Latin-speaking Caucasian in Argentina where they’re from?

There still appears to be a desire to produce more and period dramas on TV, but conveniently, the periods never date back further than when certain elements of society are in-charge…

The world must come together. Make all parts of our planet happy places for people to inhabit. We can afford to industrialise the whole world, educate, provide healthy conditions etc. And those that still wish to travel can do so. Those who wish to stay where they are can do so. But nobody should be made to feel out of place anywhere: none of us own the earth and we will all depart sooner or later (nobody is on earth and alive forever!)

an everyday professional wondering (as many others do daily) what all the animosity is all about? we all came with nothing (as babies), didn’t choose where we popped out and we will all leave (when we die) with nothing.
