Awake!, “The Bible's Viewpoint: Racism”
“Acts 10:34, 35 states: “God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” For this reason, nobody can rightly consider one race to be superior to another. … Jesus set the standard for Christians when he said to his disciples: “All of you are brothers.” (Matthew 23:8) He prayed that his followers be united and be “perfected into one,” not divided or segregated.”
A two-page article answering three questions: the origin of the races, whether any race is superior, and whether racism will end. It cites the UNESCO Declaration on Race and Racial Prejudice of 1978 and teaches that all humans descend from Adam and Eve and from Noah's sons.
