Wonderful. It is an issue of great importance to a fair and civil society.

But now pop your bubble and take a look at the economic inequality that you live in (and apparently benefit from). Race, ethnicity and religion are not the only possible social cleavages and, in fact, it is well recognized economic decline and exclusion is the largest.

So please don't grow up to be one of those hypocritical Democrats who go to the best schools & colleges, live in fine neighbourhoods & houses and generally have a privileged pathway in life. Decrying racism over a fine wine holidaying at Martha's Vineyard is far too easy because it lets one play the moralist without disrupting one's own good life. 

As a bright young woman, I hope you learn that morality is easy if you don't have to break a sweat or give anything up. So for the next few years, ask yourself, am I willing to trade my privilege for greater social equity? That might mean giving up on that best school so that all schools are better.
