We’ve gotten to the point where we now have a category called “People of Color minus Asian.” This is a true story.

I suspect (but don’t know) that if Asian students stop studying so much and start getting worse grades, they might be allowed back into the category “People of Color.”

I see two possible paths forward from this madness. A) We decide that there is one human race and that we are all shades of brown, or B) We keep dividing people up into smaller and smaller groups until we notice that we have 330 million Americans, each one of them being its own individual “race.”
