Open My Mind, Maybe I'm Ignorant

Question

Maybe i'm ignorant but I don't see how classifying people according to ethnicity is a divide & conquer tactic. We're all different yet we're all human. I'm not Greek that does not mean I'm not human. I don't see how acknowledging the physical differences in man is a divide & conquer technique? The way I see it is humans is like any other form of life. There is always diversity. There are red, purple, white, orange, yellow roses. There are all roses but they are different. Whatever happened to being proud of being different? What's your opinion? Can you help me understand the whole divide & conquer tactic?

Answer 1

Classifying people according to ethnicity is not a divide & conquer tactic.Classifying people according to ethnicity is a divide & conquer tactic, only when somebody supports that an ethnic group is superior to another or is endagered by another. In that way, the "superior" ethnic group tries to "oppress" the "inferior" one or the "endagered" group tries to "eliminate" the "threatening one".
