I think I am contemporary one regarding the issue you mention. I do not rely on the degrees we / you / anyone obtain. I prefer to check personal characters instead. Some unclear but important clue of results say that US will collapse in next 20-50 years.

(though, I know many blind people !) simply: do not think and feel the difference between you and (assuming you have white skin) and non - white people. try to minimize self ideas. be objective. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigL Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 My thoughts on the OP ... What does it mean, Alex, when you 'notice' the race ( for lack of a better word ), and the culture of people you congregate with, and feel the need to modify your behaviour to accomodate the circumstances ? This is regardless of whether you modify your behaviour to accomodate them, or to accomodate yourself. Maybe some day we can get away from even noticing the differences whic divide us into races, ethnicities, cultures and other such groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at the same time, plagiarise the best from different cultures. eg: cuisine [who doesn't like Chinese/Asian food, or Italian cuisine...or taking one's shoes/footwear off before entering a home [any home, even your own] an aspect of Fijian society I/we have adapted in my home. Probably much more European and/or Asian culture that has been adopted in more western countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, we just have to accept that our territory isn't threatened; and we only think that because we're taught to hate anything that might threaten tomorrow's comfort, rather than tomorrow's food/needs.

I also believe we're born not knowing instinctively what race we might be. We remain "open minded' until our other instincts kick in, and the more multi-racial integrated our community the less likely we are to become racist...all other thinks being equal...which of course they never are.
