Why do those pesky black folks keep defining themselves by their melanin content? It isn't like it's important or anything. Why do those women keep defining themselves by that one chromosome? It's just one. Would the separation disappear if homosexuals stopped thinking about it? Does discrimination only occur when it is named by the victim? Is it inevitable that a person can only see themselves, and perhaps those almost exactly like themselves, as true people? And the rest are cariactures no different than the light and sound of a movie screen? Is a 'positive' stereotype really the best outcome you can see? I dunno.
