a) it would be great if the world worked that way, and b) it's a fantasy that the world really does work that way right now. It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot closer than it used to be. That quip from Blazing Saddles isn't a lie, you know. People used to want to work with Black people before they'd work with the Irish. Irish peasants were even poorer than contemporaneous American slaves! Now where has that attitude gone? What you take as a starting point, I see as a distant goal that will take a lot of hard and uncomfortable work to reach. By "starting point" I mean as a foundational principle. I certainly wouldn't disagree that humanity has far to go. We're not going to get there with an authoritarian attitude like, "The beatings will continue, until morale improves." The 21st century version is, "The toxic groupthink and mass-guilt by race will continue until attitudes around race improve!" By all means, go for it. If you can figure out how to do that you will become a very successful person. How about through a calm human analysis of internal message boards, accompanied by a policy of not firing people for reasonable opinions?
