On race

I spoke earlier about black and white and about seeing color. This gave me some incite into the way we perceive the other.

in america, the population in general is too obcessed about race. the "ethnicity" question, though vollountary, appears on most forms that one would use to apply for services, a job, healthcare and so on. they say its for records only that it will not be used against you.

so why ask?

And there is some irony in saying that you are free to decline from answering the questions, like if your race is privileged you wont say you don't belong to it.

Still i think we should see race. But we should see it as a biological reality. some thing that one cannot change.

to ask or not to ask thats the question.
