Colored People

I started appreciating people of different races back when I was working in the middle east. I met a variety of people from all kind of religious and cultural back ground. I was shell shocked at first and way to critical about their way of life. Cant blame me for it was my first time outside my home land for more than 2 years. I visited the United States once but was really not paying attention to actually stop and understand their normal way of living.
I've met mostly arabics and Indians, and God was I surprised! Being a Filipino who was raised under the american influence, I initially reject the way they do about with their business, and mostly criticize them... Until I stopped and appreciated them. Im not better than them. Im not as decent and religious as they are. My race is'nt that disciplined as they are. For that, my thousand appologies. I had to learn the unique way that people are different and there are other civilization far better than the ideal ones we, I have grown to become.
I saw a vast majority of people so sincere and solemn to their faith. I saw men and women not dictated by authorities to do simple societal law. Infact, most of my countrymen are afraid to cross the line. It took a foreign soil to make a person of my background to adhere to the simple laws. Discipline. I never thought people from the other side of the world could maintain such distinction. I was naive that other race could be such good citizens. Felt ashamed, embarassed that I was so arogant and well, a racist. Shoot! I hated the word, remembering the genocide in world war 2, the struggle of black americans, and all those killings and treatment one race would get from a so called superior race. I never thought that I could be one. Lesson learned.

But wait, I didint say they are perfect. Everybody has their own flaws and maybe thats why some races advertently hate each other. Thats why a certain terrorist exist.
C'mon guys we differ from our beliefs, we differ from our looks, we differ from cultural practices, we differ in a lot of way. But dont you think we could just understand and respect each other? Lets conform to a basic right and wrong in life. I dont think that differs from one race to another. Its what you call, I think, moral law. Is'nt it?
