The goal of a race is to see which competitor will finish first, and most of the time, the one with the more superior car will win. Just like these race car drivers, people of different races want to be known as the superior one. As a result, racial discrimination is abundant around the world. All races should learn to respect one another, moreover, these races are unique and distinct from one another.
Race is basically describing a person’s physical looks. Worldatlas.com (2017) stated that race can be related to a person’s skin color, hair color, hair type and also the facial structure. Race can also depend on the place of origin of that person.
There are five different races around the world. The first type of race is the American Indians or the Alaska Natives. This race consists of people who originated from the Americas that live in tribes. Native Americans usually have high cheekbones, shovel teeth, large earlobe, and brown skin color. The second race is called Asians. This race consists of people who originated from Asia especially in the eastern region of the continent. Asians usually have a yellow skin color, less body hair, and almond-shaped eyes. The third race is called the Native Hawaiians or the Pacific Islanders. The Pacific Islanders usually have thick legs and hands, wavy black hair, and exotic eyes. The fourth race is the Blacks or the African Americans. This race originated mostly from Africa. The African Americans usually have dark-colored skin, and large muscles. The last race is the Whites. This race originated from mostly Europe, Middle East and North America. The Whites usually have a fair skin color or sometimes rosy, rosy cheeks, and brown hair.

All of these five races are equal, distinct and unique from one another. Therefore, they should not strive to seek superiority from other races. People should learn to respect and give importance of the different races. As Martin Luther King, Jr. (1963) said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
