I think I understand the point, but I disagree with it. If the people at that lunch all went home and thought to themselves, "It's good to see white people helping black people without holding their race against them", then they do care about race, right? They did care that it was white people helping black people.

Now that isn't racist (quite the opposite), and it certainly was the right thing to do, but it isn't evidence that we don't need affirmative action.
