You're aware of feminism yes?
I've had this sort of conversation with him. He says the same things about the gay community.

He's got a Morgan Freeman quote that makes racism easy: all you have to do to fix racism is ignore it. Never mind that critical race theory and a whole lot of scholarship, and a whole heap of activists doing work on race, disagree with it. A black man said it! (Said black man also called Obama "mixed race" instead of black, so....)
It doesn't matter that these communities remain separate because assimilating would mean erasure. They're separate and that's "segregation".
Me, I think racism will continue to work even if people don't acknowledge it. It'll still be coded into state, social, and cultural apparatuses and function covertly. The refusal to countenance it will just lead more people to attribute the differences it turns up to what capitalism and liberalism are supposed to select for (particularly in their American guises) - merit. And voila! More racism.
