There is a well known saying “never judge a book by its cover’. Humanity has yet to conform to such idealism where the scar of racial discrimination still clings to the world like an open wound although not as prominent as two decades ago.
Human prejudice still exists and is displayed in our everyday lives. On the bus, in a public park, in lounges and even in a doctor’s waiting room.
