Rapper Kanye West feels the world's focus on racism is a "distraction to humanity".
The 37-year-old rapper can't understand why people feel so strongly about others from a different race, reported Style magazine.
"Racism and the focus on racism is a distraction to humanity. It would be like focusing on the cousin from your mom's side versus the cousin on your dad's side. We're all cousins. We're all the same race. To even focus on the concept of race, it's like - perhaps people give me an extra cookie for the fact that my colour palette is so controlled and I'm black.
"When someone that's like, racist, comes up to me at APC and says, 'I thought it would be a bunch of animals on your shirts,' because they heard that I rapped. But it just makes the journey interesting.
"We came into a broken world. And we're the cleanup crew. And we're only cleaning up by helping each other," he said.
