"But to mitigate it, reduce it, and overcome it you have to understand it. To understand how it lives in all of us as a dark seed."
it is interesting to me that you use the word "darkness" or "dark seed" to describe the bias of classicism and racism. let us begin here to acknowledge that darkness of skin color is indeed a basis for classicism and racism. just ask any person who is darker than the majority population.
it may be a separate issue or conversation from the intent of this thread - but i did want to sensitize you to your choice of a descriptor. as a woman of color, i am particularly sensitive to this form of classicism, racism and bias. the forms can be outright in your face or subtle. but, they are there.
in a good way, hopemountain.
