I understand that some of our Asian and Arab brothers and sisters have hatred inbred into their culture as a result of thousands of years of wars and oppression.

However isn't it interesting that they are all obviously of the same gene pool? Take the Jews and the Muslims, if you put a thousand of each in a room naked you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Same with Japanese and Chinese, oh I know there is a stereotype "look" for each of those nationalities but if you meet enough of them you will find there are many that you can't identify their country of origin by just looking at them.

Then look at me sitting here at work with two other technicians who are intelligent, hard working, and I would consider my friends... and until I started writing this I didn't even think of the fact that one is a black woman and the other a native American.
