I agree that there were such differences in the premortal existence--how
could there not have been? But I also agree that they had nothing to do
with a person's race in mortality. There isn't even such a thing as
race, biologically. What looks like race to us tribal humans is merely a
concentration of certain genetic traits in a geographical area over
millennia. There's nothing magical about our race categories or the
boundaries between them.
Indeed, as the father of three racially mixed children, I can tell you
there are no boundaries at all. Or does someone want to call my
boundary-straddling half-Caucasion-half-Japanese children "racial
fence-sitters"?
I wish we'd all form racially mixed marriages. The sooner we can breed
away the alleged categories of race and produce one single race of human
beings that are a mixture of all the races like Time Magazine once
depicted on their cover, the sooner we can put this race crap behind us
for good. ("Crap" was not my first word of choice.)
