You make a gross assumption about his perspective aligning his views on what is wrong with the world with the views of liberal individuals.
When you empathize with him and understand that he comes from a different background you can begin to understand why he expresses difficulty in understanding.
I am brown, i never really hear race discussed much in my social circles in a comedic theme, not a racism theme.
There's another data point.
My poiny is that people are diverse, have different perspectives, and having an open mind facilitates dialogue
- jamescostian 8y agoI agree with your point about empathy, but I disagree with the idea that a "gross assumption" was made. jriot was talking about an "unnatural obsession with race" and asking why it exists, and the person who replied to it succinctly explained why. It was a "question and answer" dialog. Regardless of jriot's perspective, the reply was still correct and probably informative (because it answers a question that was asked)
