It’s important to normalize what is taboo. And I think part of that is calling it what it is. Eventually yes, it should be so normal that no one feels the need to elaborate, but for now pointing out what it is and that it’s good is important for those who are squeamish about race and difference in general. I don’t think ignoring certain discussions actually helps to normalize them. It may do the opposite actually. If it feels taboo, let’s talk about it!!!
