Why is everything about race nowadays?
Anyway, your comment is bullshit. I'm a white guy (actually from Spain, so I don't know if I qualify as "white" from the USA point of view) living in Japan, so I am the discriminated minority here (and yes, I have been a victim of minor racism), and I agree with GP. We humans evolved for face to face conversation, if racism is the problem, hiding behind a mask is not the solution.

Brazil is a hazier issue. (The reason is that Spanish speakers in the US don't tend to be Spaniards, and the laws were written in a sloppy way.) [1] Technically, the "Hispanic" category is not supposed to be exclusive with the various race categories. But that is how it is treated.
- user-the-name 5y ago> Why is everything about race nowadays? Because racism exists and is a real problem for lots of people. You don't fix that by pretending race doesn't matter, because in the lived experience of all of those people, it matters, a lot. They would love it if it didn't matter, but that is not what happens in reality.
