In other words, it will be completely unnecessary to refer to someone as a white person or a black person, or any other color.
I'm not suggesting you're a racist, but I'd go one step further. Skin color ought to be like hair color. We see, it. We might have aesthetic preferences, but no stereotypes. We should be able to identify someone based on looks. And we oughtn't be embarrassed to use skin color to describe someone. It's just that the description shouldn't carry more cultural baggage than she's the woman with the really long hair or I mean the bald guy in the corner.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
