This was in late 2004. Oh yeah racism is whatever the racist makes it alright.

I think you're focusing on the same small-scale, low-impact, personalized prejudices that the article attempts to steer the discussion away from, what is only touched upon in normal dialogue and thru movies like 'Crash'. Systemic and institutional racism/slavery is what the article is saying needs to be addressed and tackled.
