Don't judge a book by its cover

Race is the main factor of a person’s identity.  Even though we strive for equality people still experience inequality.  In the United States Caucasian is the favored race and those who are not white experience discrimination.  We see this in the education system and the work force.  Many white children have better access to schools and receive better education and many white males receive better salaries and higher positions than other races.  However, I don’t think we should be defined by the color of our skin.  The United States is a melting pot and in this day and age people are a combination of many different nationalities.  This is why I think the Census Bureau should allow people to mark multiple races.  Just because someone looks a certain way doesn’t mean we can stereotype and place them in a certain category.  Too often we look at someone and immediately judge them by their race.  Unfortunately, I don’t think there will ever be a time when we look at someone and judge them by who they are not what they look like.
