And a nuance: the question was not 'would you rather be black.' The question was 'would you be willing to be black.'
Or ask one self, would you be uncomfortable the only or of the few (insert, race gender ethnicity) in a crowd of those who are different?

Then try to imagine how people faced with this everyday now must truly feel. Add to this the sense in lacking of a voice or power when faced with this everyday. When in speaking up, ignored and placated as not a big deal.
