> non-US based
There is a common theme of people based in homogenous societies finding American race behavior out of place. At best there's places like the UK. Which is still a far cry from the diversity and size of the US.
> I can’t help but wonder, if you focussed less on how to treat people differently to make up for the past and instead just removed skin colour from the equation, whether a lot of this divisiveness would disappear.
When do you cut off the past? Would you say 75-100+ years is too long ago? So we should let go of the insane murdering and pillaging of places like Tulsa and North Carolina by white supremacists. Is 5, 10 or 20 years ago okay to be upset about? Can't enact this sort of behavior if there can't even be agreement on can't agree on this,
> if you focussed less on how to treat people differently to make up for the past
"make up for the past" has never really happened. If every part of the 2nd paragraph is divisive, it is hard to imagine it would stop divisiveness.
