The divides between rich and poor, between the haves and the, have nots, is a political construction. Racism is not real, because we are closer to each other than suspected. It is an instrument of politicians to cause division, and it is very successful. Instead of welcoming outsiders into our country, with the potential of booming employment and diversity, we are turning them away, and if there was any great deed of unification, it should be reflected on how we as states treat the less fortunate. Because how we treat the less fortunate is how we would be treated if we were in the same situation. We are all vulnerable, we are people.
