Until my late 20s, and the beginning of the Obama administration I had no idea racism was a real thing. Sure, yeah I heard stories about the CRA era, but I thought that was well in the past. Now, I didn't grow up in a "diverse" area... my school was almost all white, etc. But for my first job, I had a very gay, black boss. Now, that was before homosexuals exploded to a a whopping 3% of the population... so that was kinda unique for me... but guess what? Aside from the mild sexual harassment (in hindsight, and only if I apply leftist values), neither his race nor his sexuality were "problems" for me. Sure, they weren't my values, but that wasn't a stumbling black for work... We worked fine together. Older now, with a professional career again... no race problems, and I work with people from all walks of life, all over the globe. Could it be that I wasn't raised with a racist mindset? Could it be that arbitrarily applied diversity for the sake of diversity is irrelevant? Is it racist that I like the way I turned out? Or that I don't want to buy a house in a poor predominantly black neighborhood where the value system appears fundamentally different than mine? Never thought so before. But maybe thats my white privilege talking. You know, the new affirmative Action.

The only racism I see, is on the TV. The only racism I hear is a problem, is when our President talks about it. In fact, the only glass ceiling I see is for folks guilty of being white and under 50, that are trying to work for Fortune 100 companies.
