Re: Victims

Did you read the article about colorblind racism?

I read it two years ago, the last time someone pointed me to it. It's a load of crap. To begin with, it's a contradiction in terms, unless we define "racism" as "any statistical disparity between the condition of races on any matter whatsoever," which is a definition of "racism" that pretty much ensure you will find it in any culture in which two races differ in any subcultural aspects whatsoever, since culture affects average capability at specific tasks.

I direct you to the extensive writings of Thomas Sowell on the topic, specifically Race and Culture. Oh, and by the way -- he's a Person of Color, so you have to defer to him.
