Anyone who believes colour and status no longer matters is out of touch with reality. The modern world as we know it is built on inequality. I can sight various examples for days both locally and internationally, from skin colour to status to bloodline, don't be naive and buy into the many illusions of "same opportunities", for many that reality isn't real, from the inner cities and middle class homes of Jamaica to the far east. What has happened is that people who have successfully received opportunities are quick to believe that is the reality for all and so generalize and propagate the illusion of equality. Obama making it to the white house did not change the reality of racism and the man who made it from rags to riches did not change the reality that many are being cheated out of the chance of opportunities.©
