First entry :)

I will start off my blog by giving my stance as to where I stand with racism and sexism issues, and relate it to dominant/target groups. I am a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. I have not experienced much racism in my life and maybe that's why I don't pay much attention to it. I have friends of all different races and many times people have referred to me as "colorblind", because to me it doesn't matter what race or sex you are. I believe everyone should be treated equally and not be judged by anything but who they are inside.
In my eyes, racism is just as ridiculous as when people look at me and perceive me as a "dumb blonde" and think that just because I have blonde hair, I may not be as smart as a brunette.
Unfortunately, not everyone feels the way I do. Some people believe that outside appearances are more important than what a person can offer on the inside. I realize that we don't live in a perfect world, and no matter what there will always be people who judge other people by what they see on the outside. However, I think it's admirable that we have people in this world who spend their life trying to fight for other's rights, and their own.
