Race or culture isn't the issue but "identity politics" which mandates that one must see themselves and others not as the unique and wonderful individuals they are but as an impersonal member of a class to be treated according to the understood (or assumed) qualities of that class. Nothing is more destructive to cordial interpersonal relations than saying "Oh, you're an X and I will treat you as X-types ought to be treated" without regard to who the individual actually is.

It's not impossible to see, recognize, and appreciate races and cultures as long as the dignity of the individual is maintained.
