I live in a blue state. Almost all of the kids I see nowadays are mixed race. This sort of shit is almost over. As soon as the boomers die out, there won’t be a majority white voter.

In some far future utopia we will’ve all interbred and evolved to a nice caramel/olive skin and our descendents will imagine us as cavemen. If we mange to make it that long.

I don’t glow in the dark, I’m just pretty much see-through. I also burn in a matter of minutes in the sun.

I gotta say this is actually something I’m disappointed by.

Not because I want white people to survive forever or think any race is better than the other but because I like the idea of living in a world with other races. Like a fantasy setting with different types of elves or whatnot.

I like the diversity and would love to see just how different each race could become while still being the same species.

I mean, that has already happened in our history. The result is that the lion’s share of humans are 1-4% Neanderthal. Not to mention ancestry from Denisovans and possibly others.

The end result of a DnD world is a bunch of humans with slightly pointy ears and big teeth.

My first reaction was to wonder why anyone would care what her race is. It is the least interesting or important thing about her

Racial Colorblindness is still racism. Kamala Harris, like anyone mixed race or nonwhite, has had a measurably different experience living in America than her white peers.

Fixating on her race the way Trump and Republicans are doing is absolutely racist.

But hand waving her racial identity away like it is irrelevant is also quite a racist thing to do.

In what ways is it relevant to judging someone’s capability to be president?

Having certain experiences means intimately knowing the problems affecting others in a similar situation, and that puts you in a better position to fix them.

She might know a little bit of the struggles the non-white community in the US have to go through, possibly experienced it first hand one way or the other. That might lead to a more inclusive presidency than what Trump would do.

What the hell does “racial colorblindness is still racism” mean?

When you say something like “I don’t see color” or “I don’t see race”, you’re actively dismissing an immutable part of a person’s identity, which is insulting. You can acknowledge and appreciate someone’s race without treating them differently because of it.

it’s mostly a problem in the situation where a person goes “Racism is over, you shouldn’t complain”

You can’t dismiss the power that race has in people’s lives to this day because institutional racism still exists, and the consequences of the more overt institutional racism of the past are still in effect.
