Our species, Homo-sapien-sapien, isnt that long out of the trees and the veneer of civilization is very thin, to non-existent, upon us all. Were all carrying the genes that got us here and some of those genes carry a very basic survival instinct that has allowed us to survive thus far.
This most basic of all survival instincts is self preservation and its the one that warns us to be very wary of those who are different than us, our family, and our tribe. Those who possessed this survival instinct survived and reproduced, and those who had no fear/distrust of strangers didnt survive. Over the years, this survival instinct has been referred to as tribalism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, racism, and various other isms, but its an inborn instinct carried in our genes whether we like it or not.
Culture is what divides us. Cultures are not equal. Some cultures create and some destroy. Some are simply cultures of death. Culture defines how we interact with each other and is therefore easy to detect - with or without sight.

Well today when blacks are judged by their character and determined to be deficient of character disproportionately more than whites it is considered racist and grounds for Federal prosecution.
Blind people can be great judges of character therefore they can be racist.
Everything looks “black” to them.

By definition, a color-blind person cannot be a racist.
BTW, are either Revs. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton color-blind?
Sure, but only if they are white. Everyone knows that white people are born racist.
I didn’t know Scientific American did satire. Or did they just release their April issue early?
