I acknowledge it seems I&#x27;m dismissing and even excusing people who are racists. This is definitely not the case.<p>Let&#x27;s pretend there are no races for a second. What would racist people do? They would probably still hate on &quot;others&quot;. They would probably not have the vocabulary or the knowledge to group people, but they would still hate &quot;others&quot;. The fact that racist hate other races is just incidental to the fact that we categorize people, and then they use that as a tool &#x2F; avenue for their hatred. So why would we promote their tool for hatred? We don&#x27;t categorize people based on eye color, so why skin color?<p>The idea is not to lose identity and pretend we&#x27;re all the same, but rather to avoid explaining things with race. When someone behaves a certain way, or when someone can&#x27;t get a job, or got the job, the explanation should not include race, because it&#x27;s just not needed, it&#x27;s inaccurate, and it promotes the semantic tools for racist to leverage and keep hating.<p>I&#x27;m definitely open to why this is wrong, so corrections are more than welcome.
