It's just pathetic. We might just aswell divide people into races based on hair or eye color. It's just as trivial.

I got fed up with being asked what "race" I was on applications and surveys long ago. Now if I'm asked such a question, I reply that my race is HUMAN.


My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

You just articulated the basis of Jane Elliott's famous experiment on the conditions of race.

Totally agree. Both "traditional racists" and new age progressives and SJW's are both too hung up on something that truly does not matter.

And you're still assuming that behavior is based on skin color
