We may have taught them but they were willing and adept students.
It ain’t a out being white, black, or rainbow; it’s about being human. Especially if you believe all human races difference is only skin deep.
Ever read Guns, Germs and Steel? It’s a great case why the “white race” is not superior, just lucky. It works both ways, we are not to blame, we just got lucky, anyone else would have done the same thing. Any other argument is racist.
re emergence of racism that was only in recessive remission but has bloomed like a Herpes Cold Sore on the genitals of white nationalists who fear the fecundity of brown immigrants.

Ibon,
Hard to not read that as blaming whites.

Exactly. Which is eh I think that race does not deserve a seat within this discussion.
I understand racism is an issue. I am organized around by 5 BIG issues ( AGE, resource depletion, global financial, resistant bugs, over pop). None of them are within themselves a social issue. Discussing them does not involve race. Fixing any one of them will effect the others and will also improve social justice matters.
But we loose focus on the core issues and derail into name calling.
Eco mitigation knows no color or political identity.

We will just be reacting in a better or worse way to them or if you prefer in more or less selfish/altruistic manner
