Race doesn't bother me or negatively affect me. Talking about it challenges my worldview and hurts my feelings! So just stop bringing it up, I think you just want to fight me for no reason.

    I was going to say the same thing but with a lot more words.

    The oatmeal did a comic that's sort of on this topic that I think about a lot now: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

    I think this is why our future is looking grim. We'll never have a star trek utopia until this behavior, which is pretty fundamentally baked into our biology, is addressed somehow.

    Closest thing I find can help is to underline in my own words (so WITHOUT just quoting "first they came for...") that whatever the unfair treatment is, some form of it will eventually creep up the hierarchy more and more, the longer it is tolerated. Individualism has made it so many people think of themselves and their immediate family only.
