&gt; I&#x27;d love it if racism were to just disappear too. But wanting it to happen doesn&#x27;t make it happen.<p>The point being made here is that making the system even more racist is going to make the problem even worse. It&#x27;s bad to assume Neal DeGrasse Tyson is a shoplifter because of the color of his skin. It&#x27;s also bad (it may or may not be <i>worse</i>, but it is in no way good) to assume a person will discriminate against others because of the color of his skin.
