The only times I've ever seen caged windows outside of the hood is on second story daycares to prevent kids from falling out.

Right. But just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesnt exist. Just because you can't see the sun at night, does that mean it doesn't exist?

The modern conception of race only really dates back to the Columbian Exchange and the Maafa Holocaust, and its legacy lay only in slavery and subjugation.
The future of humanity is one of increasing intercultural connexion and understanding as we begin the transition to transhumanism and technological singularity.

Well, that and because we're visual and social animals. It's actually VERY important for us to be able to distinguish between one another, so we tend to notice small differences between other people and we sometimes overexaggerate those differences.

I recall the concept of race coming from the Enlightenment really, and it was more a pseudoscience at first but people like Kant and others began taking it at truth value; so we can also sort of blame it on the 17th century this whole racism thing.

Nah, the Babylonian Talmud is one of the earliest works that incorporates racism iirc.
