    What? ‘Mongrel’ is a racially charged insult to you? It’s not to me but then again, race is not something i base my worldview around unlike you i guess. Don’t tell me your American.

          so to be sincere for a second

          people who make claims like “i just don’t think about race” are

          A) almost invariably white people who are not impacted by racism

          and

          B) are taking the path of least resistance to ‘opposing’ racism. they’re acknowledging racism is bad (sometimes) and then deciding the solution is to personally stop paying attention to race instead of actively working to stop racism

          at best, this an individualist approach to a systemic issue (read: worthless). at worst, this is just a lazy excuse to continue being casually racist and go along to get along with society’s worst impulses.
