[QUOTE="muichimotsu, post: 75490138, member: 149131"] That's awfully convenient for a white person to say, unless you aren't, in which case it's even worse because it treats race as if it's an afterthought, which is anything but what it is. We are still superficial people in some sense, we don't just not judge people in some sense by appearances, even if it's stuff like the physical traits associated with particular racial groups. The fact that you don't want to have a complex discussion on the interplay of race, etc, in terms of lived experience in society, is indicative that you're too privileged to realize those struggles or you want to suggest those struggles are the fault of the people rather than institutions that aren't being equitable in their treatment The differences being superficial does not mean they are necessarily unimportant as regards how people treat others based on them. And I'm not talking explicit racism, there's a wide swath to consider, especially from white people where they tend to be the majority group and thus are given some measure of favored treatment or bias towards them. We have studies in America going back to when schools were being integrated, particularly the one by Dr. Kenneth and Mamie Clark, the doll test, showing that black kids were negatively affected by segregation and those societal ideas that were passed on for generations even after the end of slavery [/QUOTE]
