3 Reasons Interfaith Efforts Matter, by Eboo Patel - 0 views

  •  
    >In America, just about everyone is some sort of hyphenated hybrid of race, religion and ethnicity/nationality. Irish-Catholic-American, African-American Pentecostal, Jewish-American secular Humanist, and so on. As Walt Whitman said, "I am large / I contain multitudes." > When interfaith cooperation is done well, it not only helps people from different faith and philosophical backgrounds get along, it creates space for the diverse identities within each of us to become mutually enriching rather than mutually exclusive.

Is 'Race' Meaningful? - Letters in NYT - 0 views

  •  
    Letter 'trigger': "When we look at someone and automatically think about that person's "race," we must realize that we are not seeing "race" but instead seeing an arbitrary and harmful societal classification imposed on a continuum of physical differences. When we want to ask how someone is classified by the myth, we should always put "race" or "racial" in quotation marks (as I have done here). Such questions still need to be asked, for example, on applications for college or a job, or for the census, for the answers provide the data needed to maintain diversity in education and the workplace and to monitor and remedy the harms the myth has caused and continues to cause. The long-term goal, however, is to make these questions obsolete.
