This has a lot to do with many Westerners raised to see other non Westerners races inferior

Not to be ad hominem but obviously you did not grow up in the "West." And what you're doing is called projecting. You clearly don't know how we are/were raised, because your assessment is way off base.

Only after living in Asia for so long do I have an acutely racialized, quantified view of every human being I encounter. It is sad. I wish I could go back to the innocent state of just seeing everyone the same. Everyone was just a person. *That* is how I was raised. But Asia has resocialized me. These societies are the ones with strictly hierarchical ways of perceiving and relating to people. These societies are the ones so preoccupied with notions of 'inferior' and 'superior' as concrete concepts, quantifying with supposed objectivity the value of each human as if we were farm animals. You simply don't know what you're talking about, ranter.
