I stopped filling out forms that ask what race I am. It's a completely irrelevent question to ask someone.
What does what race I am have to do with applying to get into a college course ? What does what race I am have to do with a job I might apply for ? What does what race I am have to do with anything ? I'm sick of seeing/hearing about it.
If racism weren't still a huge part of America, I wouldn't have to see/hear about it.
I either passed the test(s) or I didn't. I paid my bills or I didn't. Race has jack shit to do with any of it.

Sounds like a big time cop out.
What you are complaining about is the results from America's racist history. Buildng the country, literally, off of the backs of black slaves.
No, you didn't have anything to do with it, but we all have to deal with the consequences of it. I think being asked to check a box indicating race is nothing in comparison.

Who is "you guys?" And why are you so wound up and upset over someone you don't know insulting someone else you don't know?

So you bitch and moan about people committing personal attacks, to turn around and commit...a personal attack.
Talk about Pot'n'Kettling.
