@lnxwalt:  Nobody starts out seeing races.  We're all trained to do so.  It takes some work, but it is possible to subvert that training.  It just takes commitment.

In the case of antisocial thugs who advertise their thuggery with blatant symbols, you don't need to fit into any arbitrary classification to provoke them.  They are in a constant state of looking for reasons to be provoked.  I know that from experience.

I do consider myself lucky.  The number of ways my life could be worse far outnumber the ways it could be better.
