Could my dad be racist?

[fable]

in the end, I think humanity is best off respecting it's diversity, and maintaining it as well: in the name of reciprocity.

well said. But once again i must mention that in general human beings are loving, accepting people, but are susceptable to synthetic injections of angst, anger, fear and distrust. Before an all encompasing change/reality like you mentioned can occur, the respective oppressive elements(a reletive few) and structures that create a racist environment have to be destroyed. And it has to be destroyed by mass movements of "ordinary" people.

I agree ...only one thing that I disagree with, and it's that I don't think there are a relative few when it comes to the oppressive elements, as Rusmfeld would say, there are the known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns. Yes I did just paraphrase Rumsfeld...so shoot me in the face...ok now I'm channeling Cheney, I probably need some sleep now.
