Why do westerners care so much about race?

But that isn't "Western".

That's America.

Race was created and maintained in America. Other places may have similar issues, but very few societies built their institutions on the basis of race or a concept that was similar.

You can talk about South Africa. . . but even their classification system was different. Like Trevor Noah was not classified as being "Black". In Brazil, folks who were classified as being "White" would never past the muster in the United States, etc.

In India, you had the untouchables. In Japan, there was discrimination against non-Japanese like Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.

What makes race different is a racist insistence that his way classifying people is based upon fact or objective science. This even as his views are not supported by science. So for him, his racist conclusions are factual or common sense. . . even though the very framework in which he conceived them is based upon a fantasy.

Most of us actually don't. We think it's a shame that our society isn't more equal, and many see that certain racial groups tend to do worse economically than others, and conclude that racism is responsible, and since you can't solve complex social problems with easy, quick-fix solutions, some fall to screaming epithets instead.

US Americans care about race the most. In Europe, apart from some idiots in the UK, it's not that obsessed.

Do you think that Middle-Eastern people and Orientals have no concern about race?

Fuck if I know. For some reason Leftists think the single most important and defining characteristic of a person is their race. And if we don’t talk about race incessantly, we are ignoring racism.

This is what they really believe. And they don’t deny it. It’s doing nothing but creating and perpetuating the racism that they are supposed to be against.

But these are the same people that believe the only way to correct the wrongs of past discrimination and racism, is future discrimination and racism.

There’s a difference between racial preferences and racism. Preferences is a liking and racism is hating. Just as having a racial preference in dating isn’t racist.

You're confusing westerners with leftists.. Not all of us care about race, just the racist, slavery supporting, segregation supporting left.

What's wrong with slavery

[Opinion Owner]

If I have to explain why it's wrong to force someone into servitude against their will, you are not intelligent enough to talk to me.

[OddBeMe]

Because everyone wants to be in our countries. We have to worry about every type of person living next to everyone else.

I don't like black women . I just wanted to state that

[jahaims]

Most don't. It's just the vocal minority that do.
