Prejudice and Intolerance.

In my opinion to what causes intolerance and prejudice is by the way one is raised. Many people were raised differently than others and that is what you learn from growing up like your parents, or your environment community. Growing up I had friends from many cultures and backgrounds. I had a friend named Rashawn and his mother wasn't pleased about her song hanging out with a latino. My mother was fine with it of course, she loved all my friends. His mother felt different and it always made me feel uncomfortable. The way I Prevented the whole thing was by ignoring it. I don't think just because of our skin color we cannot be friends. Of course growing up and meeting new people opened my mind to many things and learned to just deal with intolerance. There's always going to be people who are prejudice or intolerant, I think you just need to learn how to deal with it and move on by not being bothered or apart of it.
