THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
This is billboard is really saying race isn't real which in turn means racism isn't real. This is saying what you see displayed as the r-word is just stupidity -- with no connection the power differential inherent in white supremacy
The real goal is stop all unpleasant talk around race. If you stop talking about race and admitting race exists, it won't exist. This is why countries like France and eventually Sweden stopped taking census and counting how many people there are in each ethnic group.
That's why sociologists have identified this ideation as "Colorblind Racism" for more than a decade now.
This billboard represents the laziest white interpretation of "Race is a social construct" that there is.
And it is a white privilege to believe this -- even if some non-whites are silly enough to believe in it too. Because it's only white people who will NOT lose their livelihood or literally die due to identifying and dealing with racism inadequately.

*- a lot of white folks hate the sound of the word "racism" so much, they don't use it unless they see a person in a white pillowcase hood struggling to carry a two stories high cross on fire. That's why so many have been shocked by what's been obvious in Orange Chump since the 1980s.

If you don't count people, if you don't track what's happening by race then the fact that all dark beige people from middle eastern country X, who happen to be Muslim are mostly poor and taking of 70% of the cots in prison despite only being 1% or 2% of 7% (WHO KNOWS what percentage) of the total population.The white perspective that says, "There's only one race the human race" is designed to get rid of the ability to see racism clearly, which in turn ought to stop those seen as non-white from being able to complain about racism.
That's why sociologists have identified this ideation as "Colorblind Racism" for more than a decade now.
...even though (mostly) white people who think they are allies to people of color can engage in this as fully as the alt-Right jack@$$ playing at semantics.Furthermore, it's also primarily white people who think getting rid of differences instead of learning to RESPECT them is a good thing.
