The point here is to show the silly consequences of categorizing people by "race", not to argue about the minutiæ of how to properly do race discrimination.

- jariel 6y agoSo I think that's a fair point, at the same time I don't think 'race' is quite a silly thing, just not a hugely important thing. If race is silly, then is BLM a silly concept? We could say the same thing about 'silly culture' or 'silly language' or 'silly attitudes' or 'silly politics' ... so that we can just all focus on the truly important things like our 'iPhones'. At very least it's history, and interesting on that level, more controversially, it's part of our identities at least in a broad sense. I find this [1] basically fascinating.
