    They keep endlessly pushing this idea that the colour of a person's skin is incredibly important, as is their... 'race.' The ####ing liberals have become as obsessed with 'race'as the ####ing Nazis, and that's ####ing weird, because it's all a load of 19th century bollocks like 'eugenics'.

    Its a funny old world. In my 99.99% white Scottish childhood I shared a school desk every day with the only black girl for many miles...except I didn't because I couldnt even think of her as a "black" girl: she was just Laura. If she had a group identity in my mind she was "girl" but she was otherwise just an individual: smart and funny- I liked her. It was the same I think for near all of us until one day someone penciled the words " Laura is a n####r." in the washroom. Most of us never knew what a "n####r" was... but some shitty parent had made sure one of their spawn carried their nasty prejudices into the classroom.

    You can say colour doesn't matter: It didn't for us as young children but other people had different ideas and seemed determined to make it matter.

    I suppose the modern penchant for classifying someone under a "group" identity for reasons of inclusion is quite a different thing to doing so for reasons of exclusion but you have a point that to do so is to effectively participate in the same process: that of ignoring an individual human identity and replace it with an erstwhile tribal one.
