For most people it really doesn't matter, including most people in powerful positions. But we keep telling ourselves it does, unfortunately.

- biohax2015 8y agoIt absolutely matters. Maybe it doesn’t matter to YOU, and that’s great, but it absolutely matters. Racism is alive and well in this world, and saying it doesn’t exist does nothing to defeat it.
- moorhosj 8y agoThe data keeps telling us too, maybe we should listen to it, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

- colmvp 8y agoHa. That seems like a good joke. Try doing online dating as a White Guy and then doing it as an Asian guy: I can 100% assure you the response rate and experience is going to be wildly different.
- meri_dian 8y agoI'm not talking about dating prospects though.

- ramblerman 8y agoWould you get more responses from Asian girls on these sites though?

- giantsloth 8y agoIf race “doesn’t matter” to rich people, but is rather used as a tool by the rich to cause in fighting amongst the powerless (which is true and seems to be what you’re implying), then in fact race does matter as it affects how the powerless relates to each other. So racism matters, so you’ve contradicted yourself.
