"I would ask when you ignore a problem does it go away?"

Where did I say, I am ignoring it? For personal reasons, I am very aware it exists.

I said my personal solution is simply to not treat people different based on race. I rather change the world by giving a good example, than trying to impose my fix onto the world.

"No one should be asking you to hire someone simply because they’re of a different skin color. "

But people are promoting the idea to push positive discrimination - meaning exactly this, employing persons based on their skin color to meet a percentage of minorities - and not on their qualifications. And I believe this is very wrong and not helping the cause.
