Sometimes I wish that there wasn't such a big emphasis on race and gender identifying a person, but rather just the individual person and his/her character defining him/her. Details such as " please check box next to Asian/Caucasian/African-American/Pacific/Yellow/Blue/Male/Alien/Female"  does not in any way describe the person; Instead, it paves way for stereotyping. Yes, background is important because it is part of that person but not in any way their personality. Sometimes I forget that too. Ignorance is a bitch.



Automatically, subconsciously, one would have a certain image of that person as if this would show the basis of that whole person's being.

One day, I will just mark boxes randomly to surprise. The unexpected is always more interesting anyhow.
