opposing their demands. They feel they should be equally represented in all the economic,

the sectors of the countries to represent their interests. However, in most countries, their
demands have been declined, and this has resulted in serious wars between the ethnic groups,
and these wars have resulted in deaths of many citizens and have forced some citizens to flee to
different countries. The countries inhabited by the whites and the blacks have faced serious cases
of racism since the two races have different interests and the whites have always imagined
themselves being superior to the blacks. Therefore, they always feel they should be given some
special treatments. However, the blacks are always against these demands and feel all the people
