Race as an entire concept to me has always been stupid at best. Sure, there are vast swaths of biological similarities (typically, though not necessarily) according to general geographic regions of the globe, but the real mistake was trying to give this vague concept a label. Can anybody give a definition of what "white" or "black" REALLY means? It's an impossible task. If we're talking just visually about skin color, congratulations, that represents citizens of some 100+ odd countries on the planet and just as many (if not many more!) cultures and languages. But leave it to humans to try and over optimize and try to denote evermore meaningless abstractions... Let the social "culture war" rage on. The only war I see going on in the west (U.S. mostly) is a _lack_ of culture. |

Similar to prejudice and stereotyping or the worst of lies there is some truth in its reasoning but the untrue part, the lazy part allows people to commit evil and be unjust. A reason to harm others with minimal conscious discomfort.
