Actually very few racists actually sit down and think of a really good 
reason to stop being racist. And I've been in many situations that have 
given me more than enough reason to be racist, some that I truly doubt 
you could begin to understand. I have chosen the higher road because 
that's what I'd like others to do. It's very easy to be prejudiced; it 
doesn't require control of our emotions.

In large part the attacks on America came from a form of prejudice akin 
to racism; if I become racist because of their action then I'm stooping 
to their level. But that's my opinion, and to each his/her own.
