Acknowledging difference is different than racism - while there are small differences between races, our mental plasticity as humans makes it unlikely that any race is significantly different mentally than any other, and really race is an artificial distinction... We're all human, and racism is hate speech, not free speech
If the goal is to use a computer to "communicate more effectively" then our goals have much less to do with computers than using software. People in US high schools and universities (and likely around the world) could really benefit from learning how to critically evaluate ideas, and how to put forth their own ideas that would withstand a critical evaluation. Without that anything you learn to do on a computer is just fluff - not enhanced communication. GIGO
