Maybe they should start doing the same when they speak of their fellow American citizen
The day you elect a president and dont even mention his ethnicity, religion or sex, then you have something to celebrate. But that wont happen, especially not in the US where the hate, Religious segregation and racism is such a big part of your daily life. First you discriminated the Indians, then blacks and now the Mexicans
That fake "look at me, I'm white but voted for a black guy so I cant be racist" bullshit makes me sick. Unity my ass...

Very well put and I couldn't agree with you more.
And it is insanely hard to bring children up not to see color when the world around them does.... it just makes me crazy. My family and my husband's family were all born pretty much in the south and racism was always a part of both of our lives as kids growing up, and we have tried so hard to NOT let it be a part of our kids and who they grow up to be. But WOW, it isn't easy when everyone around them see this and bring it to the forefront of their little minds, and at such a young age.
It's TAUGHT..... bottom line.
