Wow, "Angrycat" really has an appropriate name. Anyway, he or she made some good points.
For what it's worth, my experience has taught me that I have no control over any human other than myself. That fact has been brought home to me several times.
Therefore it all starts with me. I can make sure I myself am not part of the problem. I can do this by setting a proper example.
This problem will not be solved any time soon. That is simple reality, but we can each make sure we are not part of the problem.

OMG! Have you ever been to Russia? Is your knowledge limited to the web English-speaking articles. I bet, it is.
Do you have any ideas how many nations live there pretty peacefully? There more then 100 different nations in Russia. Personaly, I'm Russian but have three other nations roots (two of them aren't even "white"). Do you think it's possible in a totally racist country?
And yes some people are against ILLEGAL immigrants just like they do in the USA. May be you should start with your own country? Visit "Cultures and Groups" section and tell me that there are no racists in the USA.
Phew, I really think you should first racism in your homeland and then start to teach others.
