Persistant Injustice

This last week I've been reflecting quite a bit and a couple reoccuring question have been bothering me in particular. With the exception of various hate groups, are there any individuals who don't shift the blame for their various forms of prejudice?

Will equal oppertunity for all people ever exist so long as we aren't willing to admit our own downfalls in upholding such justice?

Although I may only be an average college student, minding his own business and leading a quiet life, even I have fallen short in this area! Whether it be discrimination based on race, class or gender, it's very hard not to allow the subconscious thoughts about others become directly translated into actions. As people continue to say things like "I'm racially color-blind" somehow it has been collectively decided that rather than realizing and dealing with the various small manifestations of discrimination, we should rather ignore them or write them off as a normality. Such means of dealing with our differences should not be encouraged!

The United States must either decide to be pluralistic, or have all peoples amalgamate, for in our pursuit to do both we have caused a great deal of injustice. Although we encourage diversity in our schools, we are teaching uniformity in the workplace! "The American Dream" cannot exist in the same realm as a people who seek preservation of diverse values, for this American Dream has come to represent a value set possesed only by the Euro-American Male and not the collective desires of every member of our society.

I decided today that under no circumstances should I reveal my real identity to those exposed to the experiment, a secret is better left a secret. I should probably also ensure that those who know of the experiment don't leak information about my identity to others who have been exposed.
