I was struck by the subtleties of the differences. I am humbled from the seemingly small improvements in relations that resulted from intense and extensive shared experiences, such as the two reporters in Akron and the three contractors in Houston. We're preoccupied with it. Yet the reporters note how little real understanding there is, and how ingrained racism is even in their highly sensitized newsrooms. I'm glad that story was included, because people of color do sometimes exclude whites.
Understanding grows from learning from one another's cultures.
Of course we are in a society that is still run by whites. We are told that Americans themselves should alter their values because of the demographic compulsion of immigration. These were well crafted comments about how politically correct we've become. Their cautions are noteworthy, about immigration. But, I think there are some subtleties, read code words, within their statements.
