Most of us were raised that way. This phenomenon of everything being about what color you are is relatively new and orders of magnitude more controversial than its pushers like to admit.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> This phenomenon of everything being about what color you are is relatively new If by “is relatively new” you mean “very briefly receded before returning”, sure. The whole “we are living in a post-racial society” thing was trendy for about the second half of 00s, but fell apart fairly rapidly in the early 2010s.i > and orders of magnitude more controversial than its pushers like to admit. No one, anywhere, disputes that it's controversial, and always had been; what has changed notably, though, is the degree to which the divide had become much more aligned with the partisan divide than it had ever been in the past.
- betwixthewires 6y agoThe people pushing the idea absolutely do pretend it is not controversial. It is "just the right thing to do", " any good person would do it", "it is just being decent" these are the sorts of justifications for it so as to frame it as noncontroversial.
