Oh no, I'm glad you posted it, I suppose I should give more than an article drive-by (this was a thug joke, I am racist).

I'd be interested to read your ideas on race and how the millenials experience it.

I don't thing racial views have changed much between this generation and the last, in the sense that the same stereotypes are created by the same types of people, in a sort of cycle.

I don't think people are nearly as overtly racist or focused on race as they used to be. In fact, I have never, ever had to deal with a racial issue with someone my age. The woman that loudly stated that hospitals used to be separated by color, the police officer that accused me of scoping out a house to break into when I was actually selling cookies for cancer -- all were much older than I.

That being said, just because I haven't experienced it amongst my generation, doesn't mean it isn't out there. Twitter is a wonderful example of this. It's very hard to get a statistical analysis of something like that, I think.

Honestly I could write on this forever, but my ultimate view is to try and not think of race at all. I think being on the internet and interacting and experiencing the cultures of other races has helped in that effort, but it's impossible. I think the one thing that "White Allies" argue that I agree with is the fact that white people don't really have to think about their race, if they don't want to.

It's a lot more complicated than that writer makes it out to be.
