Racism - Why, why, why!?

I am really quite fired up about this.
I hate labels on people of different races.
OK, so nerds, bogans (that's what we call cheap people in Australia, do you?) aren't classified by what you wear, IQ or anything like that so much anymore, I've noticed.

It's all to do with their race or background.

Whether you're black, white, asian, even a mixture of all...we all get caught up in racism.
I myself are white and Australian.
Oh but nope...it doesn't stop there, it's not only races, it can be where you come from.
Example:
In Australia we call English people 'poms'. I have no idea what it means, but people here go "bloody poms" or something like that. And being English, American, Australian etc. isn't a race, and still there are problems with labels and insulting nicknames for them.

There is this boy at a bus stop I walk past everyday after school, who is big, tall and really over-sized and can tower over people easily. Everyday there are boys that ride their bikes through this bus stop. There's a few boys who are asian that ride their bikes through this particular bus stop, and everyday this big boy pushes him into the road! I can see him doing this when I am about 200 metres away.

I just want to punch him.

I reckon everyone at once stage in their life, falls into accidently or even meaningfully says racist comments.

Even Me.
Just wanted to share, thanks for reading!
