Since I've studied a bit of history, I have a greater appreciation of why
it was once necessary for altruists and folk of good will to focus on such
things and discuss them. But in modern days, I think - and especially for
my own, never-saw-the-sixties generation - the best policy is simply to
ignore the entire subject, including the subject of how to combat what
prejudice remains, so that the world can fade into true colorblindness.
The act of distinguishing between races in order to fight racism is a
tradeoff that has ceased to be productive.
In other words, I don't like this subject line.
Sincerely,
Eliezer.
