I've talked to a lot of people who feel the same way. I don't think it's BAD to feel this way, although it may be something you would want to work on. I mean, you don't want to hurt peoples feelings, so at least you care. I think it has a lot to do with how you were raised. My parents had all kinds of friends of different backgrounds, race, and whatever, so I see all people just as people, I don't draw lines. I used to have a hard time understanding people who see things like you do. I always saw it as racism. Now I understand that it's just a matter of getting comfortable with people who aren't exactly like you. Everybody is different, and the more you immerse yourself into other people's lives and really get to know them, the less awkward it will feel.
