Oops, I clapped by accident, darn me. Folks like you, and I've encountered you before, LOVE to agree that "race" is not real. If it were not "real" in some way, then how did the US manage to codify "race" in its laws? The laws were most certainly not "color blind." Some folks are hiding their prejudice under the cloak of good will, but those of us who know prejudice also know what the cloak looks like.
