Comment on Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about people making such big deal out of whether they're "black" or "white"?

If you’re one color and you’re living in a culture where you’re surrounded by a majority of people of a different color who don’t treat you as one of them, then you’re going to identify more with the community of your own color.

There isn’t such thing as “different color” with human skin. We all have different shades and tones by nature. People naturally look different. Your skin even changes depending how much you’re in the sun and it doesn’t make them a different person. This is really not hard to see

  Yeah it’s not about that. It’s about culture, history, systemic racism, discrimination, found family, community…
  
  This “I don’t see colour” argument is an old blind argument that ignores all of the above.

  Yeah but that’s not how the majority of racists see it. If you aren’t pure white they don’t like you. Period.

    Yea and that’s the point I’m trying to make that this racism makes me feel bad. I thought I find some people that are also fed up with it like me
