I hate to be the person to burst your bubble but racism isn't going anywhere no matter how much people wish it would. Tribalism is heavily ingrained in humanity, people will always separate themselves into us and them. Pretending those differences don't exist won't solve the issue

Poverty is a real issue in America that is also often influenced by race. Race is a real issue in itself that has many different facets.

Entirely depends on who the majority is. Racism is just tribalism.

Ok, I'll bite. Just because you grew up not having to consider the color of your skin doesn't mean other people had that same privilege. I wish I could say that ethnicity doesn't matter, but people here will absolutely treat you differently because of race, whether it makes sense or not. The fact is that "not seeing race" is something you only have the privilege of when you are not in the minority race. Interestingly enough, while I am a very clearly black man, my mixed half sister (32) has faced more direct racism than me, starting from as early as second grade. Her also mixed daughter (15) also gets called the n word at school regularly. You're right that it shouldn't matter but it does to enough people that it can't just be ignored.

You haven't done all of it, though, and you straight up said you don't want anyone to tell you things to help. Honestly, I'm not sure what the point of this post is other than getting you some attention

There isn't really a point if you don't want to do any work to get better. Not sure why you're in asklemmy asking about why to live and then shooting down any ways to improve your life. And this is coming from someone with chronic treatment resistant depression
