'White people' aren't even advised which differences are beautiful and which are verboten. MoF, most often 'anti-racists' posit that it's a conversation we're not even allowed to have.
We're called on to empathize with pain 'we can never understand' [an oxymoron on its face].
If you don't engage, you're shunned as a bigot, and if you do engage you're shunned as 'paternalistic' or prying, yet everyone insists some vague amorphous 'conversation' that is fraught with deadly potholes direly needs to take place.

I could not agree any more. This is an issue and one now that is divisive in this country.
