The last few days, there were so many words like racism, sexism, sizeism (fat). My question, are we not racist? not sexist? not sizeist? the things we do, we say and we react shows all that. My personal believe that there is no one who is not racist, not sexist and sizeist. We make judgement whether we like it or not.............the song from Avenue Q speaks a lot and would like to share with you guys.

Princeton: Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?

Kate Monster: Yeah.
Princeton: Are you two related?
Kate Monster: What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!
Princeton: Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!
Kate Monster: Well, it's a touchy subject. No, not all Monsters are related. What are you trying say, huh? That we all look the same to you? Huh, huh, huh?
Princeton: No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry, I guess that was a little racist.
