This "race" obsession is pretty much a US-specific thing. In a way it's understandable based on historical and cultural aspects.

Yeah as a non-American, the extent to which the US seems to obsess over race seems downright bizarre to me.

It's like they see absolutely everything and everyone through the lens of skin colour, as if this one trait alone defines us.

Doesn't seem very healthy either, as it just seems to promote division, conflict, and hate.

as an american i have seen this first hand. our preoccupation with race is unhealthy and it makes people depressed. racial division is promoted by politicians so they have a way to rally votes, its plainly obvious.
