Ethnicity is culture. Anyone who claims to not see race is fooling themselves, or operating on the presumption that the only way to view people as equals is to not see a core part of their humanity.

I also see see gender, height, & age. These attributes add to my understanding of someone as I get to know them.
My son married a hispanic girl. They have a son. I would find it offensive if you judged him because he looks like his mom. I don't think there is any deep social construct within him. The only biological difference is his apperance, he does have blue eyes like me though. He acts no different from my other grandson and I expect no less from him.
