This so much. If you tie your identity, your idviduality, your importance to your melanin amount or ethnicity you are racist. You are dividing up humans into "us and them". You are using it to set yourself apart, to make yourself different (which inevitably leads to divisiveness and bigotry because you've divided up humanity) and to stake out a claim of ownership on some part of human culture. It's not your culture it is our culture. We are all humans. All culture is human culture. Bigotry will persist for as long as people invest importance and value into ancestral and cultural differences between groups. Whether as a positive (celebrate X culture) or negative (blame Jews). Obviously, until we view ourselves as united, as one. We will remain divided.
