Friend, I hear what you say but...why not..?
For just a few centuries ago, it was tons of prejudice between different clans trying to dominate Sweden (Östgötar vs Wästgötar etc). Today we are just fellow citizens meeting on an everyday basis, speaking the same language and having the same basic ideas about life etc.
I guess that most countries, areas or regions can show the same kind of development...or may have some development in front of them...that's of course a sad thing, but the fact that a specific "system" isn't perfect isn't really only an "evil" thing - it's just what life is all about - the opportunity for development

!
Yes, we still most definitely have some development to do...
..but, it's already happening every day. For everyone in todays world, it becomes more and more clear that we are slightly different but still exactly the same. Just an example: in the fashion industry the so called "minorities" becomes more and more fashionable...
...anyway, my main objection to what you said was the word "
never", I don't believe in that. I do believe, and I do want to experience that day (being a living person) when prejudice about race and faith is just not there anymore...anywhere in the word. I may be optimistic, but I really do think it's very, very, possible to archive! (it's at least MUCH easier to fix than the global warming thing...)
