And you find someone who is not Joe to befriend, get to know or not know. This way a person wouldn't even have to waste their time with Joe.

Maybe Joe is head of some Greek fraternity or police department. Maybe it would help knowing he comes from virulent bias? Perhaps even a long line of it?

Maybe you have a boss that's treats you differently-- wouldn't it be nice to know what his or her motives could possibly be?

It's just information man and yes the truth can make things better. Racism is cowardly by it's very essence and has too much refuge.
