I don't get it. Is he arguing that recognition that races exist = racism? In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I dinna think it means what you think it means."
I am not conscious of race due to few visual skills. About 25 years ago I asked my good friend and dentist about a pin he was wearing. It was for the Society of Black Engineers (he had attended V
Virginia Tech). I looked at him inquisitively, and he said, "You didn't realize I was black, did you?" I had to tell him it hadn't occurred to me; he was defined only as a friend and great dentist.
I was discussing race with a friend, a fairly well-known writer, and told her all that I knew about her was that she was some sort of gender queer with ancestors throughout the Western Pacific - China, Philippines, Japan. I only knew that because she had written it about herself. She knew me well enough to understand.

This book is outrageous and dangerous. That anyone would laud it is reprehensible. Thank you for exposing its contents — I had no idea.
Is it just me or is this summary too... objective? I feel as though it fails to address why racialized thinking is negative and damaging.
Either way, keep up the work and I’m looking fwd to the reverse Q & A.
Pushing racism as he supposedly fights against it. Pure evil keeping racism stirred up.
