[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people saying “it’s racist to categorize people at all” sound to me like naive and defensive adolescents. If you are white, the world treats you differently — even if you are a single parent, have a substance abuse problem, are poor, whatever. If you are white, how many times have you been pulled over while driving? Been followed in a store? Had someone clutch their purse when you got on an elevator with them? Had people cross the street when they see you coming? Your blindness to these things is part of the problem.[/quote]

If you are attractive, the world treats you differently...if you are fat/thin, the world treats you differently....if you tall/short, the world treats you differently....if you are Asian/Persian/Mexican/African, the world treats you differently....if you are smart/dumb, the world treats you differently...lesson...people treat everyone differently all the time...every hour of every day...humans.[/quote]

Not pp but to everyone thinking we shouldn’t be categorizing/ generalizing according to race, what do you think of affirmative action?
Isn’t that precisely categorizing according to one’s (perceived) race?[/quote]
