“

because race is important and specific to how we are socialized in this fucked up world. of course at the end of the day fuck race, but for now race is still important and relevant and dictates a lot of our lives.. of course if you are white it is different because race is the dominant hegemonic race, meaning it is seen a the natural or normal race and black brown asian etc is seen as the “other” in the US. never think race doesn’t matter you will just come off as ignorant to a lot of ppl
