Shakespeare-Ahead of His Time

Reading the handout "Outsiders in Shakespeare's England" by Ania Loomba made me to brainstorm about this topic and to create my own opinion about it. This topic looks for better knowledge about ethics situation in that period in history. Fifteen century was still dark period because the most people lived under 'ownership' of some higher class. Slavery was still very strong in that period and people with other skin, Indians and Negros were looked as lower classes. Racism today and over at that period had different meaning. Today it is a shame if we hate somebody because of their skin and society imidiately judges that as a bad thing. At that period, looking on black or indian people as lower race was normaly acceptable to chirstian society.
Why would Shakespeare be a different than the rest of his environment?I don't know if he differed than the rest of his people but obviously he showed through his plays that there is place for every race. In Othello, his major role was character with black skin.In Titus, Aaron has very imprtant role and presents one of the most intrique characters. It is stupid to say that Shakespeare gave a chance to every race. It is better to say that he was way ahead of his time, like he knew what to do in order to become of of the greatest poets in history. Race diversity at that time was avangard for sure and the most of his plays are very modern because of that. Still, stories say he never saw black man. That is best showed through nature of his characters which are filled with English culture of white man.Othello was white man in his soul but he was black in his skin. In this case white means that his character belonged to Engish culture background. Still that Englishness doesn't belong just to people of England and it is very questionable if Englishness really exists because that culture was mixed with other western cultures. Also England captured a lot of countries outside of Europe so cultural mix started spreading much before Shakespeare was born. His best pieces are going out outside of England, in Denmark, Italy, Cyprus etc. This fact is telling us that he thought more as chosmopolite than radical Englishman.
