I just think it's ridiculous that we've reached a point in our culture where it's considered rude to notice people's race. I would never judge someone based on race, but there is NOTHING WRONG with noticing it! Does anyone watch The Office? Do you remember how hilariously offensive Michael Scott's colorblind bit was? There is no reason to pretend that you don't see someone's race.

That's not to say that prejudice doesn't exist, or that we shouldn't fight for equality. I firmly believe that we are all equal, and should be seen as more than just a member of a race or an ethnicity. I won't argue against us being people first.

I think, personally, that pretending that race doesn't exist, or becoming offended when someone says, "Oh, you mean the black girl?" when you're referring to someone and can't figure out how to describe them, is racist. You wouldn't be offended if someone said, "Oh, you mean the girl with glasses?", would you? Race exists. That's ok.
