Aka reporting in with roots in the German (Frisian, Saxon) and Mongolian tribes (a hint of Slavic and Jewish would be plausible too), "Caucasian" for all intents and purposes. Went to school with Turks and Arabs and Tamils and gingers. Friends on every continent of the world. Totally blind to color. Not a single drop of racism in the blood.

Disturbing is the dilution of the meaning of the words. By calling the industrial destruction of human life and perceived "thought crimes" (criticizing a black, disabled, female, old, lesbian government official) the same names - "racism" and "bigotry" - proponents of positive discrimination put both on the same level. Now it may be argued that one leads to the other, to which it must be replied that an obviously broken alarm will be ignored even in the case of a real emergency.

It is a disfavor to the alleged cause.

Also, I think we have "stereotypes" for a reason, the question is how we act on them. But that is a topic for another day.

Thank you for sharing from your archives :)
