Nice. And yet I see the racism in him (actually not him, it's ingrained 
in him, but the society in which he lives).
He says "Yes, I see that she is black, and she sees that I am white, but 
how sad it would be if that were in the foreground." . Would you say the 
same about blue eyes? If the answer is yes then I'm wrong, if the answer 
is no, then he'll stop being a racist only when he sees that sentence as 
absurd as "Yes, I see that she is blue eyed, and she sees that I am 
green eyed, but how sad it would be if that were in the foreground." 
(what kind of stupid moron would say *that* phrase, or even think about it?)
