    It’s funny how the people writing comics like these don’t see that they are perpetuating a stereotype themselves.

      I think I get what you’re saying. If we don’t talk about things, it ceases to be part of our culture. Reminds me of something Morgan Freeman said:

      “Stop talking about it. I’m going to stop calling you a white man,” Freeman says to Wallace. “And I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You wouldn’t say, ‘Well, I know this white guy named Mike Wallace.’ You know what I’m sayin’?”

      I don’t know if it’s practical in a world culture of billions of people, but I understand the thought process.

        You got it. Racism is treating people differently based on race.

        The only way to end it is to stop drawing on differences.

        You got it.

        We can’t beat racism by continually pointing out racial differences. This is just more racism and isn’t helpful.
