Macy I totally agree with you.
I think the world would better if we all were proud of our differences, colour , culture, religion everything, and not afraid to recognise that we are all different to each other. I think the problem happens when recognising we are different underpins stereotype, prejudice and discrimination.
To say people don't see colour is not acceptance IMO, it's avoidance.
The black don't crack thing, I've heard that for years over here, usually voiced by black women,but it is always a positive affirming statement referring to the beauty of black skin and it's resistance to signs of ageing.
