Certainly, [they] can choose what to call themselves, but by picking one race or another they are perpetuating the idea that there are separate races. And as long as that idea exists its impossible to truly have a colorblind society, or at least one as imagined by whomod.



It's a colorblind society, as long as Whomod's race is represented.

But it's everyone else who's race-conscious and racist.


What is whomod's race? I've read him quite a bit but, I've never seen him mention any race or ethnicity.

I think that everyone is race-conscious to a certain extent. Being aware of race doesn't make one racist or bigoted. It's how one treats and/or views the other race that makes one a racist or bigot.



I forget exactly where (probably in one of several topics where Whomod gloated based on census articles that Mexicans/latinos are the fastest rising percentage of U.S. population).

But Whomod said his parents are first-generation immigrants from Mexico, who learned English after coming here.

So Whomod would be second-generation American, of Mexican descent.
