Does being different really mean Different?

So all this week on Channel 1 they have been having this series called "Pride and Prejudice" that's about the several hate groups found in the US today. Most of this groups are really hateful towards immigrants, and that is just scary. I mean, I do understand a lot of the points they make and why they think that. But ain't this the Melting pot country? meaning it was founded by immigrants from all over the World, even tough whites predominant they are not the only ones who are important. For sometime I was sure that all this racism had ended but now that I see this news coming up with the news of all the hate groups and with all the things they are doing it just makes me realize that this world really is getting worse and worse. I do understand that there are several immigrants who have done bad things but, most of us just come here to work hard to try to help out our families that are back in our country. So why are people so hard headed? Why do they have to act so mean to others just because they look different? Just because they have darker skin, or different eye shape or different eye color they judge them by that, and create stereotypes that can really hurt others.
So going back to that series on Channel One, it is very painful for me to see that people are really so serious about being racist and keeping immigrants out of the country no matter what. Don't they realize that there are other problems that are bigger and more affecting to the country than immigrants? I wish they did and I wish all of this things they are doing against MY people doesn't turn out in a catrastophe. I say this because I have heard some people guess that this country will be having another civil war in relation to this topic, and that is just awful, so I hope it never does occur. But more than anything I wish for tolerance and acceptance of people, so that we can become a country united by the pride of it being called "A Melting Pot" and being separated but beliefs that will get our society no were but only backwards to a past we have being struggling to leave behind for a very long time "INEQUALITY".
