How did Islam solve the problem of racism?

We have no right to judge people by how the look.... we all do the same things and have the same feelings and it makes no difference.

This thread has been quite interesting. Everyone seems to have the assumption that racism is just white people being rascist against black people, whereas in reality, people from any race can be racist. There are black people who hate Indians, Indians who hate Pakistanis, Pakistanis who hate Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Caribbeans who hate Africans and so on and on and on. How to stop it? I don't know...education is the key I suppose, and exposure to different cultures and ideas so you learn that people are different but equal. I would disagree with the comment that everyone is the same on the inside. Sure, there are basic human needs and desires that the majority of people have; family, companionship, shelter, food, water, peace. But we need to recognise that people from other cultures may be very different from us, but that that is ok. Some people blame the way they are raised but every adult has the ability to make their own choices in life. Some parents brain-wash their children into being rascist though, and that must be difficult to overcome. There is also a lot of racism caused by ignorance rather than malice.
