Race is inherently relevant at a primal level

[hanselthecaretaker]

Think of all the times you hear (mostly men) and sometimes women refer to the different ethnicities of the opposite sex and their attributes/preferences, ie "Oh Asian women are this and that" or "Latino women are that and this" etc. etc. How come we can be subjective and judgmental here but then when our hormones cool off turn around and say "We're all the same"?

Double standards dependent upon whether the feedback's positive or negative.

It's all bullshit.

The whole racial-sensitivity issue is completely bass-ackwards hypocrisy. No one should be having a problem with people bringing race into an equation. Just fucking deal with it, and how about for a change use that criticism as motivation to improve no matter who you are.

My black friend said it best.

MLK was wrong. Race means EVERYTHING. Turn on the TV.

racial discrimination is sad, but I think everyone judges in some level or another.
