    there’s no way you could even guess the skin color of a person by reading their comment. i could be a 70-year old asian man for all you care.

    maybe because “race” just isn’t discussed as much because it’s also basically a social construct besides minor evolutionary differences.

      People of different background have more chance to have a bigger diversity of point of view. You may not be able to guess the background of a single commenter, but you can spot things missing. Also, I wasn’t actually thinking about race, but gender identities and sexual orientations as well.

      Race is a social construct that impacts so many people in a very real way. The race that you’re sorted into affects so much of where you can go, what you can do, and how the government treats you.
