I am a little. Once upon a time, long, long ago when I was freshmen in college a young woman described a good choice for our study group. He's wearing a red sweater she said. Well the student center had over a hundred people in it. Red was in. And the room was 95 % white. I couldn't see him. He was black.
Ah ha! Racist. But if color didn't matter, why didn't she just say he was one of the only three black men in the room.? I hate this gotcha. Race for identification isn't racist. Pretending you don't see skin color may not be racist either, but it's silly, because you do.
Anyone skin color blind? I don't believe you.
A little racist? How can you help it?
The moral question is how do you act?
I try to make sure any would be victims of my racism does not suffer in anyway whatsoever on account of my racism. My racism is not their fault.
