I would consider racism a mental thing. People think that someone from another race is "different". The only way to destroy racism is to help everyone understand that all people are the same, right?
So, if we are trying to take down that invisible wall, why do so many applications ask if you are black, white, Native American, etc. For example, to get into graduate school, to file for Financial Aid, etc. Why should my race have anything to do with me getting financial aid or not? Doesn't this continue to strenghten the wall instead of destroying it?
