Interesting. That's a tough one. I wouldn't have fell into any category that we consider "marginalized". I feel that we create and keep separation by naming it. All people are just people. Luckily with stacker, we have votes in zaps. It's tough to deal with in a school setting. We shouldn't keep one group down to match others either. I am not sure what the solution is. Maybe just better parenting. Bullies learn it somewhere. Usually at home I think.
Totally agree. I don't like the separation of people into groups as if everyone with the same skin color has the same experience.
It's led to some real injustices, like how a rich black kid in a wealthy minority neighborhood actually gets more points for a school lottery system than a poor white kid in a poor white neighborhood... because the points are entirely based on the racial composition of the neighborhood and nothing to do with economic status.

Yes. We end "racism" by not talking about it anymore. Little children don't know race exists until we teach them about it. It's ridiculous. It isn't an accident, the polar opposites are white and black. And yet, no one on earth is actually either. Just like blue and red. It's all an illusion that we perpetuate by participating.
