First and for all I agree with Ward and Laurence that racism can’t by solved by using only laws. I think the problems lies much deeper: in the foundations of our society and .. ourselves. Racism along with terrorism, is one of the biggest threats in our world nowadays. These problems aren’t going to solve themselves and only laws aren’t going to do a lot as well. This doesn’t mean that laws are useless. I think that laws show you what is socially accepted and what not. Without the law, people aren’t going to feel the urge to change the way they behave.
In my opinion, the real solution is reshaping the world and treating the underlying problem which is, I think, fear of the unknown. This can be done for example by learning your children that everyone is equal and maybe even by changing your own opinion. To summarize it with a quote of Michael Jackson: “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make the change…”Based on my own opinion and the reactions of the other team members on my blog entry ‘the client is king’
