(22,336 posts)Did you ask them if they were white or black? It sounds like you made assumptions based upon what fashions they liked.
No wait, in fact the truth is in their in your post. You call them "Caucasian" but you mean white. But of course the truth is that you knew they were white because you could tell and that's how race works. It's forced on people from the outside. It's a societal thing. It isn't an internal "I feel like" thing. The concept of race was created to allow one group of people to discriminate against other groups of people. Or in fact to steal their land, kill them, and enslave them, and discriminate against them. But it only exists on a societal level. It isn't about how we feel inside, it's about whether we we are in the group that gets discriminated against or not.
