Okay, well, I'll go for the off-camera story later, but I'm telling you, in my experience, and the experience of so many other poc, they don't go looking for bigoted experiences -- white folks keep bringing it.
Part of it isn't looking fuckery. I think that in many cases, it's culturally acceptable for white folks to slight poc. I didn't always think this way, but I've seen it more and more as I've gotten older, and I'm working way harder to manage my emotions and reactions than study rude white folks.
But I think, that privilege, bigotry, racism, and rudeness are related, not synonymous.
I think, I may be more inclined to think along the lines of chiss and rabicam. It seems to me that you think that wrong=wrong. I don't see it that way. But I'm heading home. We'll chat more later.
