US, UK, UN and EU have very different views on Racism although they appear the same.
I think that it is a time bomb that will explode in the near future.

"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa."
* IC6 Arabs / Middle Eastern people get to be White in America. Not so in Europe. No Middle Easterns or North Africans allowed to be IC1 White in Europe.
Human Rights as relevant universal standard[edit]
And the VDPA seeks to reaffirm human rights as universal and relevant standard. The Preamble states: "Emphasizing that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which constitutes a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, is the source of inspiration and has been the basis for the United Nations in making advances in standard setting as contained in the existing international human rights instruments, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Dec ... _of_Action
