We fear what we don't understand. When we don't understand the 'black' culture, the Islamic Faith, or the homosexual lifestyle then our gut reaction is to be afraid of it. When we are afraid our animalistic response is to attack it before it hurts us.
All the more reason for education to expose students to all faiths, all abilities, and all races. When our children learn that people who have different colored skin still have emotions and feelings like white people do then we aren't as afraid. Putting 'in a box' is a way to protect ourselves from what we're afraid of it's as basic as that.
