Um, what makes you think the blind are free from racial bias? I really don't think you're thinking very carefully about these issues.

I'm actually thinking about it far more carefully than you are. I was describing bias based on appearance. The blind, uh, don't see. But yes, they can be biased.

Because it allows, for example, you, to wash your hands and view it as someone else's problem.

Okay. But that doesn't prove everyone is racist. Now you're admitting you're crafting a narrative to cause people to do things.

It's because everyone needs to know that they, personally, have work to do. Hank needs to be aware of how he reacts to people on the street (who among us does not?). Ty needs to be aware of his hiring instincts. I need to be careful with the assumptions I make about people.

Now you're really proving my point. It isn't about facts. It's about adjusting others' behavior.

I have absolutely no doubt that you have things you, personally, should be doing for racial equality.

There are. And you can tell me that, honestly. Why instead say everyone is racist? And why insist that's true where you're clearly admitting that's not offered as a provable or proven fact but as device to modify people's behavior? Do you not understand how this transparently manipulative stuff hobbles your ability to reach the goals you seek?
