Loved your article Sita. I am not sure how or whether we will move past the point we are at today in terms of the requirement by many to view everything through a racial lens. My pessimism stems in large part from my inability to understand what those who insist on racial lenses want, what they would like to see our society evolve to and frankly how they differentiate their values from the values that you and I cherish and seek to live each and every day. Our values obviously evolve too but many of our core values have absolutely nothing to do with race but rather are about things that we all share as humans and that come down to treating all people with respect and dignity as I imagine both you and I were taught by our parents.

Your article hit me right in the heart. As a white person, I have always felt that we could all celebrate everything together, that we could all be Americans, period. I refuse to put myself or anyone else in small, clustered boxes. We are bigger than any characteristic we may have. We are all human and should be focused on sharing and our commonalities. Thank you for sharing.
