I think it's hard for people to stomach the notion of deconstructing race when we've designed society in such a way that has hamstringed groups for generations.

I think it's hard for people to stomach the notion of deconstructing race when we've designed society in such a way that has hamstringed groups for generations. I'm all for forgetting 'race' as a social construct, but I think there's a few things we'll need to atone for first.

As culture homogenized, those ‘racial’ differences also faded away—now everyone is just European. It’s a challenge to maintain your culture within a dominant culture while not suffering socio-economically.
