Many people would agree with you that race doesn't say that much about a person. However, it's quite naive to argue that racial issues are not a part of every day life. We live in a world built on racial divides and conflicts. It's obviously venerable to strive towards a non-racist society, but to do so one needs to understand the issues at hand.

I'm refusing to accept the split between "we" and "they" based on appearance or minor biological factors.

Show me a discrete situation where this results in bad decision making on my side, and I'll change my behavior.
