Nowadays it's a shame. I'm caucasian, I guess on the easy side of this challenge - I didn't chose though. My dad was at best intolerant at worst racist without really admitting it. I grew up in a multicultural country and city, with their share of issues, and I always hated that someone would see my friends or girls I liked different because of their background. One of my best accomplishments and pride is that my kids grew up not distinguishing skin colors or background. They aren't color blind lol, it took a bit of paying attention in the early years, but they just never determined their friendships, girlfriend/boyfriend or acquaintances based on their background or, pushing it a bit, sexual orientations. They just don't see that and don't care. Nobody here will care but just very proud.
