Now, I’m a pretty laid-back guy. I keep to myself, and take people for what they are. I know that idiots come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, and so I do my best to evaluate people based on their individual traits, not on their interest group or their “lifestyle choice.”

In all reality, I’m not a moralist in the sense of how people live their lives. Honestly, I don’t care much at all. The friends I keep, regardless of how they may or may not be “diverse”, are not the type who ask me to celebrate their diversity, they ask me to be a friend. And that’s the way I like it.

I think the pendulum used to swing too far to the side of discrimination, where people treated others unfairly because of their “group”. But I think it has now swung the opposite direction, where we have ceased to be able to speak honestly in the name of political correctness. The hope of those of us who would like to see a truly colorblind society is not one where your “group” is treated in any particular way, but where you are not seen as a member of a “group” at all. I don’t need to see anyone’s group membership card to know whether I should treat them with respect, I will find that out through dealing with them as an individual.
