You're not wrong. I mean, if we get down to our DNA, sure, we're different. But we have a lot of similarities, too, across cultural boundaries. It's a complicated thing, humans and how we see each other, how we see people who look different than we do, how we handle interacting with people with different skin colors and from different cultural backgrounds. We're quick to label another group of people as Other, and therefore bad.
Guess it was just too much to ask for them to be good role models?
