To put it bluntly, what we call “racism” is the natural, genetically determined, state of all human affairs. Any situation where “racism” is not an issue is one where every ethnic group involved is rigorously committed to overcoming that brute instinct.
Having grown up in America and rigorously socialized into “anti-racism”, this post-racial aesthetic appeals to me. But it is probably the most difficult cultural achievement possible for human beings, and it is severely on the ropes. The amount of political capital in the Democratic Party dedicated to transferring resources from whites to blacks/hispanics has been and will continue to grow in the future.
My personal sentiments, or anyone’s setiments, can counteract the forces that are undermining the potential of the post-racial project.
