what it means to be post-racial

people seem to have a mental block when it comes to the concept of being post-racial. and i don't at all understand why. ask me what race i am and i'll get really long-winded about it, i know i do, but it seems to be absurdly necessary.

i'm not black. i'm not indian. i'm not chinese. biologically, ethnically, i am. personally, i don't think in terms of race: or at least i try not to.

it shouldn't at all matter what color you are. you are your personality, your ethics, your lifestyle. not your color, not your geographic origin, none of those physicalities. i just wish more people could understand that.

someday the world will be genuinely post-racial. the lines will all be blurred and we will have some sort of solidarity. but the only way to do that is to live like you believe it. spread love and tolerance. raise your children the way you want the world to be, and maybe it'll turn out that way someday soon.
