I readily concede that my vision can't just happen, as it were, for the modern world has certainly bought into the concept of race to the point where many people--too many, in my view--equate or at least approximate race with culture, something we all take seriously on some level.
I continue to see this as a profound mistake the world bought into 500 or so years ago. Having said that, I can hardly deny what you're calling attention to. Glenn is perhaps a quintessential example. Clearly he does not have a *twisted* view of race, but it obviously holds some importance to him based on culturally related issues. But I just cannot go there =)
More importantly, quite frankly, my vision/hope at this point strikes me as almost inevitable. As the world grows smaller and our ability to reach out and touch one another continues to expand, we might as well get ready if you ask me.
