Racism is stupid. Color is just another feature on a person and should be treated as such. we should pay it no more attention than the color of their eyes or hair. What is exceptionally stupid is race specific gang culture. There needs to be more outreach to impoverished communities where gang culture is especially present. In my dream world, in these bad neighborhoods and inner cities, armored trucks drop off cheap, advanced, durable tablets with educational tools for all ages. From basic reading and writing to plumbing, carpentry and social skills. Interactivity and facial recognition for personalized learning profiles everyone regardless of what tablet you use. They would all work on a network proprietary to the area they were dropped off in to deter the selling of them elsewhere. Even if the adults shunned and even destroyed them, the children would find a way to use them regardless, and over the course of time, I think there would be a significant societal impact in those areas. It may be necessary to regularly replenish the supply of said tablets, but I think it'd be worth it.
Why is "people of color" a term people are ok with?
