[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thethirdobject@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) People of different background have more chance to have a bigger diversity of point of view.

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] SCB@lemmy.world -10 points 2 years ago Jesus dude what country do you live in?
