I agree with you, and it is a sensitive subject. I work with 2 black guys. One is my boss and the other thinks he is.
We talk about these things sometimes, and although we agree on a lot of topics, they definitely have a different perspective on discrimination. They are both my age (50ish), and born at the dawn of "the great society", so they have been "fully integrated", if not actioned very affirmatively their whole lives.
If I didn't know and love them, I could develop an attitude over their position on things like this, but they tell me stories daily of being discriminated against, and I've witnessed some of it.
I just love them through all of these things, and represent Christ. All three of us have the same blood type, so I remind them that if I get cut and start bleeding out, their blood would save me. In other words, we are the same.

Half of being discriminated is real, half is perceived. How one responds reveals the soul. We ALL get discriminated against. I am a real BIGOT regarding behavior and character myself.
