To the people talking about rascism in the 2050's, I'd like to you all to
open your manuals, and read "And So It Came to Pass" I'd just like to point
out that when it speaks of rascism it says something like "Who cares about
the guy with the tan, when that _thing_ over there has hands the size of
your head." In SR, there is very little rascism based off of skin color.
It still exsists, but then so do sexist attitudes. The only people they
mention as having color biases (that I can think off) are the Yakuza, who
always have, and always will, and Japanese corporations. The mafia does
somewhat, but it's gotten so mixed up between the Irish and Sicilian mafias,
that they're pretty color uncaring as well. Oh, almost forgot, one of the
most rascist countrys/areas/groups is NAN, who has this thing against
caucasians. And the Yaks will accept a non-japanese if they show such honor
that it places them above the level of gaijin.
