> The OP sought to put [...] What the OP sought to put -- via conveying it in written words -- is the notion that it (as in, achieving equity and parity between people) would be far more productive if people looked at these issues as group-based conflicts (instead of race-based ones) ... and the primary reason the OP drew attention to human groups as a whole, instead of the narrower set of groups known as races, is to do with the fact that these conflicts -- be they between a taxi driver and a person of African descent, or between a husband and a wife -- are ultimately sourced in the group-identity of the respected parties. What the OP never put in words (much less sought to put them) are the various forms of discrimination (be it on equal or unequal footing) as the OP was pointing fingers at the deeper root-cause of group-identity and not the superficial facet of discriminations. It is worth bearing in mind that there is far more to human suffering than simply being discriminated at. Speaking personally the OP is only concerned with his own group-identifications -- how it negatively affects himself and everybody who comes in contact with him -- and (since very recently) not the members of whatever group he currently identifies with. Put simply, the OP specifically points to paying attention to one's own group-identities and not the "Tories."
