Racial sensitivity for the sake of racial sensitivity is stupid. It's as stupid an reckless race based hate, it's substantially less destructive, but equally stupid. I'm not racist. It didn't even occur to me that I was one of less than twenty white people in a store of probably 150 people till my buddy commented on how 'oppressive' the atmosphere was as part of a humorously lame pun. Race doesn't matter, and if you think it matters and you're within cogent reasoning, you lose brownie points.

Children in mixed groups do not form coalitions based on "race" unless they are taught to do so.
