There are three steps on the stairs of dehumanization.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination.
With terrorism around the corner, there is no escaping racism. Muslims are getting arrested for bringing clocks to school, and getting shot left and right. We have a racist man running for president, and a disturbing amount of people (out of pure want) to vote for him. This man (if elected) will probably deport all mexicans/hispanics/people that aren't white. African americans are still having feuds with american policemen, who also shoot the african american. Some don't have any reason for it, and get away with it. countries won't allow Syrian refugees to enter their country now.There's way too much hate, death, and depression in this world. And it's all because of our colour. Despite everything the internet says about "skin colour defining you as a person", we all know it's true inside. We all stereotype one another, and sometimes even go as far as discriminating one another. It would be a much more peaceful world if we couldn't see colour. We'd all be hand in hand. Racism could be put to an end. Therefore, after much consideration, I have came up with numerous ways on how to put this madness to end.
My ideas are simple, and won't cost much (of course, we have to think about the economy). They won't be painful, and it is for a good cause. My first idea would be to bleach each other. As it seems costly, we could always use the same bleach. Every year, we'd bleach ourselves. Then, we're all the same yellow-stain colour! no one will be able to tell your actual skin colour.
My second solution is a great one, and won't hurt a tad bit. Nurses could give you amnesia, if you're a real sensitive person. They'll take a potato peeler, and skin you. Of course, you'll have to get skinned yearly, because of how skin grows back. Calluses tend to be the same colour, so we wouldn't have to worry about different coloured skin. I for one, don't want to look past the fact that we're all different. I want equality (except for women, they can't do much.).
If you don't agree with any of the two above, the last ones for you. Revisiting the holocaust, we could all burn ourselves. It's like a spray tan, that useless women do, but lasts forever! A one time thing. And again, we're all the same colour!
I've revisited all the ideas, and must say my ideas surpass the others. We can't just "Overlook" the way we all look. It's a part of us! We were made to deform our body to the one we want!
