Racism is all about fear. People are afraid of different cultures and think it will somehow threaten their own culture. If people just took the time to know individuals from other cultures they would see that they are just normal people living their lives and there's nothing to be afraid of.
Although the racism against Ozil infuriates me, the cultural debate about him is actually one of the things I found initially intriguing about him. It's just one of the many things that makes Mesut an interesting, intriguing and complex public personality. Too bad that some people use it against him instead of for him, like I do.
