1. I think Linnaeus could have been racist because he was splitting up the people into four different
groups based on their skin color and appearances. Everyone should be seen as equal, no matter what
color their skin is and skin color or appearance doesn't make anyone different from anybody else, we're
all still humans.
2. Yes, I think this statement is true; color doesn't matter.
3. I think everyone should know that they are unique and not one human is exactly like the other.
