    It doesn’t matter what my skin looks like

    …to you. Other people in this world absolutely will judge based on the color of your skin.

    it changes nothing about me as a person

    It’s extremely naive to believe living your life being judged by others based on your appearance wouldn’t change you.

        If everybody would just join hands and sing kumbaya, there would be no more wars!

        Racism exists. You can’t end racism by pretending everybody is the same, and that cultural differences aren’t shaped by racism, whether it’s historical, institutional, or just regular conservativism, racism is pervasive in every country in the world. Familiarity fosters empathy, so engaging in multicultural exchanges is the best weapon against racism. But that means embracing our shared experiences and our differences, and acknowledging that we’re not all the same. Your skin color is a part of you, and it shapes who you are. If you think it hasn’t, you’re probably white.

        Well fucking duh. You’re soapboxing an obvious point.

        The problem is not everyone thinks like you. What’s your question or your point??

        “If we give everyone food no one would be hungry, does no one else realize this other than me?”
