Far more importantly, I'm a husband; a father; a breadwinner; a home owner; a teacher; a tax payer.
These things are what I can think of quickly.
There about about another 100 things about myself that I regard as being far more important than the fact that I was born a white male.
Agreed.
People, as far as I'm concerned, put too much emphasis on skin colour.
I'm a woman of European descent. But there's a lot more to me than that.
I wish that people would ignore the race thing and accept that we're of one race - the Human race.
You and Mr M are both right. The problem with politics is that we treat each other as groups or sterotypes instead of individuals. A certain Republican may agree with a certain Democrat on an issue, but they'll oppose each other because of their party identifications. We hate each other because of incorrect perceptions.
