“Racism ends where race is unnoticed” because people from the same race tend to form isolated groups and it is the fractionation of human that causes fear and hate. As a student in a university ethnically diverse, I often observe people from the same “race” to mingle with each other only. This encourages other ethnic groups to stereotype them as a form of insecurity because they know nothing about these people. If everyone didn’t characterize themselves as from a certain ethnicity then I think people would form groups depending on what they are passionate about. Therefore, if people didn’t notice other people’s “race”, racism wouldn’t exist.
