Fascinating to hear some of the thoughts expressed. 100% serious, too. Not to get too serious, but I wish people would stop thinking of themselves as racial types: I'm white, or I'm black. America is so ethnically "mixed" that it's pretty much ridiculous to even use the labels. I feel like people are ruled chiefly by culture and tradition/ritual, and the racial component that people latch on to is almost like a warped meme within the traditions. Globalization has basically killed the economic aspect of "race" because it sweeps up people from all corners of the earth and harnesses their potential. 20 years ago, I doubt very many people had an Indian doctor, but now it's pretty commonplace. However, my elderly "black" grandmother refused to go to her Arab doctor, even though he's actually a Sikh. America, man...the founders could have solved this problem back in 1787, but the southern states would never have agreed to the solution, during the ratification of the constitution. This podcast makes me wish I had a degree in psychology.
Pretty much sums up the absurdity of "race"
