Well, to be fair, the ultimate goal is for everybody to ignore it, right? That is pretty much the definition of the end of racism. Stands to reason that ignoring it in front of your kids could teach them the same, but perhaps a more active approach turns out to be better.

- CWuestefeld 17y agoThat may be the goal of some. But as I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I think that's wrong. The fact is that we're all different, and pretending otherwise doesn't help anything. The problem is when we assume that differences in a few attributes makes us better or worse than others, or more or less deserving of [respect, entitlements, etc.]. We're all different. There are so many variables that interplay in so many ways, and they are realized in such chaotic circumstances that it's impossible to assess superiority (except maybe in the most pathological cases).
