I thought that the Doctor might have something interesting to say so I picked up a copy of "The Race Trap". He described how we're each most comfortable being around people who are similar to us. He gives us a questionnaire about our natural responses when you find yourself in a situation that you are uncomfortable with. Then after we recognize how some preconceptions may drive us to saying things like "you people" or "those people", he challenges us to think about better ways of considering the individuals and walking a mile in their shoes.
