You hold the standard European view on this, which is that we can "fake it till we make it", just treat everybody as equal and eventually racism will go away.

You hold the standard European view on this, which is that we can "fake it till we make it", just treat everybody as equal and eventually racism will go away. Unfortunately, this doesn't really seem to be happening, which is where you get the American view: oppressed minorities need to be actively supported so they can become more equal. But this, paradoxically, requires labeling the oppressed and stokes more of the division it seeks to eliminate. My preferred solution comes from the hippie era: we simply need to fuck until we're all a nice shade of chocolate.
