how do you suggest we even out the playing field after 100s of years of institutionalized racism? institutionalized racism affects generation after generation. but somehow you want to tell those affected, "everything is fair now, move along"
As one of those affected (see my other comments on this thread), I want to be judged on the output of my work and not on my skin color.

that is OK for you. but may not be OK for everyone affected.

Yep. One of our presidents was Japanese-Peruvian, and I went to school in Peru with a few people with Japanese first and last names.
Interesting! Out of curiosity, how integrated were the Japanese students into Peruvian society? Did they fluently speak Spanish? Did they consider themselves Hispanic (though I think "Hispanic" is more of a term North Americans apply to South and Central Americas, so apologies if this last question is hard to answer)?
100% integrated, considered themselves Peruvian, couldn't tell the difference without looking at them. The immigration was decades if not a century before I grew up.
