How do you get rid of racial prejudices? Recently one of the books I finished was <em>Guns, Germs and Steel</em> (if you don't know about it, Wikipedia can help). The book further reinforces my belief that all races are equal in every way, there's no such thing as "inherent genetic supremacy".

But to be honest, even though on the outside I do <em>try </em>to view and treat every human being regardless of their skin colour or facial features; on the inside I can't help but automatically associate races with stereotypes and prejudices.

Real story: I work part-time as a waiter at a conventional restaurant. Just today a black couple complained to the manager that the smile I gave to them was faker than what a white couple sititng nearby received! These guys are racist and too sensitive, but admittedly I didn't look straight into their eyes, and the way I smiled was not as genuine.

I serisouly hate myself for this. I <em>tried </em>to smile to the black couple, that's why they, being overly sensitive, noticed the unnaturalness and insincerity. Please give me some advices, how can I <em>completely</em> get rid of these ugly thoughts? How can I treat every one <em>naturally equal</em>?
