Utaifa umejikita sana katika dunia yetu, hadi unasababisha mateso hata ndani ya taifa moja. Mfumo uliopo sasa unaendeleza upendeleo wa rangi kwa kugawanya jamii katika kundi la walio wengi kikabila na kundi la walio wachache. Kwa kutoa huduma za kijamii, kama vituo kwa msingi wa rangi na utaifa, au kwa kuandaa matukio kama sherehe za Waasia na jioni za utamaduni wa Waafrika Weusi, migawanyiko hiyo inazidi kukita mawazo ya watu. Tena hili linakubaliwa bila kuhojiwa, lakini kwa nini tuhitaji kutaja asili yetu ya kikabila tunapojaza fomu? Kwa kweli, hili linahimiza aina ya ubaguzi wa rangi usiojionyesha waziwazi, iwe kwa njia ya ubaguzi wa moja kwa moja au kile kinachoitwa ubaguzi chanya, kwa sababu linaunda jamii inayozingatia rangi.

Nationalism is so deeply etched into our world, that it even causes suffering within a nation state. The present system enforces colour bias by dividing the community into an ethnic majority and minority. By offering community services, like centres on the basis of race and nationality or by organising events like Asian festivals and Black cultural evenings, divisions are further ingrained into the thoughts of people. Again this is accepted blindly, but why should we need to state our ethnic origin when filling in forms? In fact, this encourages a subtle form of racism, whether in the form of discrimination or so-called positive discrimination, as it creates a colour conscious society.
