(33,643 posts)In today's population it's such a vaguely-defined so-called 'attribute' of a given subset of the Human species to begin with ... yet you get these idiots that legitimately think it's like THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in the friggin' world, like 'my RACE must be PROTECTED!' ... it's simple-minded, tribal-based bullshit, and a means by which the less intelligent are manipulated by people smarter than they are ... to do their bidding, THINKING they're engaged in some noble fucking pursuit ... no offense, but religion falls along the same lines.
Anyone who 'fights' for 'their race' or 'their religion', outside a legitimate position of self-defense because they are HONESTLY being persecuted and their lives threatened FOR their race or religion ... are not acting as good, decent human beings.
I pretty much NEVER think about the fact that 'I'm white', and likewise I don't see anyone else I come across as being 'somebody not white', even if their skin tone isn't particularly light. I don't define anybody I know as 'that Black, that Indian, that Chinese person' or whatever. Really doesn't even occur to me.
That's how stupid people think IMHO, and I'm not stupid.
