“We need to reject the entire premise that race exists and that only someone of your same race can effectively represent you.”
That is my position, if we really want to be blind to race then we should reject that notion.
If you want equality then you should stop looking for races to discriminate for or against. As it is right now our Government is itself the most racist institution in America.

Good question, sadly I think their answer would be he pays for my Allegiance with special “protection” IE: privilege. Thus reducing the “protected ethic minority” Status little more than a Racket.
