Yeah, I can see being momentarily taken aback by such a humanization, but I wish people would be a little more reflective about why they have that reaction. It's like a lot of people subconsciously think that white is some kind of cosmic default, deviation from which needs to be justified. I did feel a little odd when I saw the humanization at first but managed to get over it when I realized that I was being unreasonable. It's an opportunity to learn more about your subconscious biases about races, but most people never get beyond the uncomfortable/outraged stage.
