Is it not actually racist to say a black person is blinded by their blackness? I can't do this. There is such a thing as thinking too much.

What Is Black Fragility? Define Black Fragility
The idea here is that black Americans tend to view race primarily in an American-centric view due to the conditions and upbringing of their concept about race, for example the one-drop rule and Jim Crow. In other countries where dark skin people live, their perspective on race is different. Since there have been more migrants coming from Latin America (which tend to be mestizo), our perspective on race is far more complex. We also have to consider ideas from migrants coming from Africa and Asia. The simplistic concept of race, which solely relies on phenotype, creates a cultural dilemma as more migrants enter a country. it's a double edge sword, it may change the culture but it also may shatter long standing historical racial concepts in any country.
In my opinion, it's better to observe people and compare ones culture for us to better society. When we exclude "white people" from the conversation, that undermines genuine dialogue.
