In 8th grade I was talking to my bff who is half Druze and my buddy Dan whose family immigrated from Portugal about how it’s weird that Dan is “white” and yet has a dark brown skin tone while my BFF was not despite having a similar skin tone to myself who is very white.

Denying diferencess actually regresses the human race. What should be thought is that personal and cultural differences have much bigger influence over behaviour then biological ones. And that humans have this thing called a brain, whos internal wiring can be changed to different levels of being an asshole.

If you don't accept the basic thing, you won't understand the advanced one.

Dad's point of view had nothing to do with self-hate, to him it was merely a statement of fact.
