Re: William Raspberry’s “Nations’ totem pole…”
Mr. Raspberry’s column is good for the national debate on the 2000 Census.
I found the ending unfortunate, though. EXHAUSTING!
First, race isn’t biological. Wow!
Second, no, nothing is ideal/perfect… But, should that be the determining factor for our mosaic-appreciating community’s cause, fight for self-expression, for embracing our heritage?
Third, getting closer to that “ideal” or near perfection; can’t we all just dream, along? Lighten up a little. It will do us all some good. I know you mean well…
At least for me, on the bloody battle lines these past ten 10+ years along with at the very least the nations twelve (12) “disciples” of the multiracial category debate, need to take it easy, but not a longgg vacation. A shame, ugh?
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ON THE FRONTLINES!!!
