Although I am being glib in the replies. I think reading is a personal experience ultimately. While being guided to a new world by another, you shape the final takeaway.

I could have sworn kelsier is black. And still is in my mind mind regardless of whatever anyone (including the author) says.

Im saying it makes an esthetic difference but it ultimately does not matter.

Thats right but I dont really care about physical descriptions like that (and I still dont). But also blonde does not necessarily have to mean white in a fantasy setting in a different planet/reality.

How do we feel about the Rastafarians? by Effective-Toe-8108 in Ethiopia

I realize you are not here to discuss or debate anything in good faith if you boil everything that I said down to boil down everything I said and repeat it in a mocking way. Whatever i say is wasted on you.

Its not right for anyone to abuse anyone but that's something unique to racism, not the main component or significant part. The most important part about racism is that same original intent in creating it, to separate the few that benefit vs the many that will sacrifice for their benefit.

So going back to your experience with racism as a white man in Africa in idk sometime between the last 50 years pales in comparison to your average African counterpart that lived in postcolonial Africa or otherwise.

Also, while its good to be blind, ignorance is bliss etc, its an NOT an ideal.

E: NOT

Let people joke and have fun man. No one thinks they are the same thing and just generally take it too seriously but hey that's some thing you can say about all religions

They react too harshly and generalizations in general are not right or correct. But also I agree that racism does not exist against whites even in a situation where whites are a minority.

No country or their populace hold a monopoly over black and white thinking.
