I believe that our race does have some part in defining us, but is outweighed by a long shot by things like our personality, appearance, culture, intelligence. For the majority of people, when they look at another person, the first thing that they will notice is probably their ethnicity or race. But, that is not what they will use to define that person. You have to be able to look deeper into someone and see the different qualities that they possess. They could be a different race than you are, but be the nicest person you have ever met. They could come from the other part of the world, not speak a single word of your language, but still be a really good looking, intelligent person.
However, there are many people who are prejudiced, and don't bother looking anywhere past a person's ethnicity. They see a different race and they think "bad". This is the opposite of what I believe in. All people have qualities that predominate their race.
