In all seriousness though. Are we all just mixed then, since most all races/ethnicities have spread and procreated with one another? Does this satisfy people in the thread? Colorblindness leads to inertia, which leads to people not learning, which leads to a lack of understanding of each other, which leads to problems not being solved, and ultimately leads to a broken system. It's pure laziness on everyone's behalf.
I've seen Shotgun say "white people" is an American invention. How do people explain old literature such as Shakespeare? Or even older tales, such as Beowulf and Greek Mythology? Pretty sure they called people "white" back then. So the term is certainly not an American invention.
