I don&#x27;t think anyone is advocating that we ignore racism, let alone that the ideal state is one where it exists and we ignore it.<p>Rather, we aim to be in a place where racism simply doesn&#x27;t exist.<p>I am painfully aware that for many people this is an unsettling proposition as it sounds like rampant fantasy and&#x2F;or they don&#x27;t comprehend how (or believe that) any society could reach that position.<p>But in turn I believe <i>those</i> people exhibit a poverty of imagination, and are exhibiting an ignorance of various historical examples of comparably profound cultural shifts.
