This sums it up perfectly. So many times I am asked what I think of all this as a black person in tech. I don't think anything of it. It simply is how things are. You can either live with that chip on your shoulder, or learn the skills to navigate life with the cards you were dealt and deal with it. There is no other option, and how you feel about it is irrelevant. Some people are born with physical disabilities or mental handicaps. It's no different. Should we live in a world without racism? Of course. But we should also live in a world without war, poverty, and disease as well. It's a part of the human condition.
As a, er, planet, we've actually done fairly well at easing those over the last century, tho. Sure, they're not gone, and maybe they'll never be gone, but improvements can be made, and it's probably not helpful to treat them, or racism, as laws of nature.
I do think there's a perception problem, though. Basically no-one would claim that disease or poverty aren't problems anymore, but there are a surprisingly large number of (mostly white, obviously) people who claim racism isn't a problem anymore.
