I think everyone should have to have the back of their right hand scanned on a color calibrated scanner and the resulting RGB triad tatooed thereon.

We need high resolution, objective data to do proper discrimination. I'm on the order of efefef, but I'll have to go back and get the real results as my memory of doing this some years ago has faded.

I like your subtle point. The teacher was using behavior mod which is a totalitarian reeducation technique. They use it in college orientation, and it produces people who think any controversial topic is taboo. I am still mad at what it did to my children and family gatherings.

In fact, people are not as easy to categorize by skin color as by eye color. Most Americans have very mixed ancestry. I call myself a Heintz 57 American, and one day I was having a long complicated conversation with a relative of a black friend who had died. When I said that I could see that she was part Indian from her features she really warmed to me looking at her and seeing an individual.

The rigid black/white divide is something that has been exaggerated and made worse by the civil rights industry. Blacks, whites, and Indians have been living together for 500 years with all kinds of different interactions. In this year of the halfrican american, ask where he/she fits these stereotypes. And note also that the lady from small town Iowa did not know whereof she spoke, as there were no blacks in her town.
