    I had conversations with people of at least three different races (including my own) today and the subject of race didn’t come up. It is very rare in my experience for this to happen. If you treat racial differences as unimportant (as ultimately they are), they become unimportant. If I am talking with a very close black friend, I feel comfortable enough discussing the ‘hot button topics’ (e.g., OJ Simpson, the Confederate flag, the ‘n’ word), but strictly speaking, these are cultural issues, not racial. But in casual conversation, I don’t bring these things up, precisely because they are that — ‘hot button topics’.
