I think the difference between categories/groups/races should be debated rather than ignored or hidden away because it might offend someone.
The problem is that there are differences. By ignoring them we don't solve anything.
Regardless of race we are afraid of things that are different.
Different colour, different values, different lifestyle, different religion, different language, different experiences; I think it impossible to ignore the differences.
Most of us will remain tolerant of the difference until we experience something that changes the way we think.
It's better to have the difference out in the open than bottled up waiting for the next catalyst to explode. The explosions may or may not lead to change and only reinforce the differences.
