No, I’m saying the majority of Americans are unable to think for themselves and just digest what ever the media and government tells them. In this instance it would be good for the media and government to use their power to change “race” to “ethnicity” It doesn’t matter to me if people over fifty still believe in race. It also makes my argument all the more valid. Why do most baby boomers believe so strongly in race? Because the government was mandating Jim Crow during their childhoods. The majority of children that grow up in a particular system with a particular set of parameters usually digest and exist within those parameters. I’m saying just change the parameters for the future generations so they can deal with reality. I’m also simply suggesting that the distinction is made on the US Census form where it asks,”what is your race?” Simply changing it to “ What is your ethnicity?”Which is the only real concept. We would track by ethnicity. Instead of using a mythological concept on our US Census form? Does that sound more reasonable to you ?So the titles would even stay exactly the same but rather than lying to their citizens they simply told the truth instead. You seem to be having a really hard time grasping that I simply just don’t think it’s a good idea for us to continue to run our societies like made up fairytales ? Do you really think the average American is going to to act like you have fantasized they will? No,the majority of them will get the Census form maybe notice the change and change their thinking accordingly. Maybe they will look up the word ethnicity if they are unsure and just like that the concept of race drops out of the national vocabulary over a decade probably. The same groups still exist. We still know African Americans come from a specific set of cultural experiences. We still know Asian Americans do as well. We just don’t pretend some people are different species anymore. We just stop pretending. Does that sound like a plan? I’m sure you will probably respond with some other way in which you are really confused about how we could just stop living in a mythology that advantages people with only your skin color but I’m done trying to explain this to you.
