"And we need to get over the part: I'm black, you're white. You're Hispanic. Who cares? I don't care about that. I do care how you act, I do care how you stand for my flag. Our flag. "
It doesn't surprise me at all that an old white man wants people to stop talking about race. Especially when he immediately follows it up with a condemnation of not standing for the flag, a topic tied explicitly to race relations in this country.
Just because he "doesn't care" about race, he expects other people to not care either. I feel like that's, at the very least, insensitive about the matters of race, if not the basic foundation of racism.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's said "I don't see color" multiple times in the past.
