When contemplating race, I feel as if all races should be looked at, examined, and appreciated through an equal lens of equality. I am not saying that everyone should be seen as one, for we should embrace all differences and accept them as tokens of diversity. However, all races should have the same opportunities and be perceived through an unbiased and tolerant lens, which can be enabled by acknowledging them in a non-judgemental (and without a negative predisposition) perspective. As Patricia Williams said, it is hard to "unthink" racism, for it has such a long history. Thus, we must start a new standard of thinking entirely which allows all races to be looked at through the lens of equality and justice.
