The real inclusivity is being able to use the word “black” without seeing a connection with race in it.

I try to be sympathetic to the "color blind is still racist" thing, since I'm white so maybe my perspective's not that useful.

But I definitely feel a lot more racist and way more race-aware, to no productive purpose and in contexts where it can't possibly matter, than I did 20 years ago, as a result of this stuff. My kids are way more race-aware than I was at their ages, as a result, too. I sure hope whatever good is coming of this is worth it. I don't like it a bit.

I agree, but this is not even a case of “colorblind is still racist” — it's seeing race where there is none.

Being "color blind" is not being racist. It's the opposite.

Be good to good people--that's what matters.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.
