John McCain spreading fear about childhood vaccines

I honestly believe anyone who claims that the color of somone's Skins mean nothing to them is either A) full of sh*t or B) completely unself-aware.

It is beyond impossible to be able to see someone's skin color and to discard it completely. ANY PHYSICAL attribute that is discerned automatically forces our brains to categorize. I see a tall guy and I'll assume he played basketball. This is what we do. If you can actually see someone's skin color then it DOES affect your thinking about them. It is inescapable and completely natural. What matters is what does it make you think?
