Ethnicism Differential-is the people at the top our problem?

Ethnicism means considering ethnic sense or identity;it means prejudice based on ethnic origin. Oxford dictionary says it is ethnic self determination or nationalism or ethnic separation.....thinking of it, is our leaders the major problem we have in many Nations or ethnicism differential that runs in our very veins across all levels. If the people at the top is our problem, don’t forget that most of them came from the bottom (at least, they had a rub off of it) as well. Am I making excuses for leadership failure or inefficiencies? Not at all, far from it but to draw our ‘kidneys’ to the very issue that eat our bones and kill us from within us- ethnic differences and separation. Ethnic groups usually are a category of people who identify with each other based on similarities such as ancestry, language,society, culture or Nation (Wikipedia)... it is an inherited status based on the society in which one lives and expresses itself in religion, dressing style, art, etc By way of language shift, religious conversions, it is sometimes possible for individuals or groups to leave one ethnic group and become part of another (Wikipedia)...i ask these questions often that why is it that some tribes appear more influential than others? Are languages superior to another? Why would an employer seek to employ only his own tribes? Why would some land lords not give out their houses as rent to certain tribes? We need to start thinking differently and see ourselves as brothers and sisters from the same family; we need to appreciate each other’s weakness and celebrate our strength....together we stand. Think about it.
