Re: Non-Fandom Secrets

[(Anonymous)]

Not only has SJWs desensitized me to sj issues so has reading all the angry rants by POC against white women and men. They do have their points and I'm not denying that they're true in their experience and, hell, I even agree w/them, but I'm now constantly wondering what POC think of me now even if it's just a simple hello, how are you doing exchange, esp. since I said that to a AA woman and she stared at me and walked away w/o a word at a conference I was attending. I have no idea what happened there other than she didn't like me b/c of my skin color.

I'm now much more uncomfortable around POC than ever before in my life when it totally didn't bother me sitting at a table being the only white woman w/everyone else being POC, primarily AA, in the 80s w/a large white student population (and I mean POC were primarily AA and vastly outnumbered) in a smallish southern town and my friends asked me why. Why? B/c I liked them and I thought they liked me. Now, I just wonder.

You know, I wouldn't actually wish it on anyone, not even white people, but...welcome to how I've felt when dealing with white people all of my life. It's always in the back of my mind what prejudices are triggered when they see my dark skin and kinky hair and casual clothes, and my concerns are proven correct sometimes (not always, but it happens) when they're visibly surprised when I open my mouth and use big words with a "white" accent, or tell a white doctor I have no kids and have never been pregnant, or anything else that clashes with their unconscious beliefs about black women.

They're rarely malicious about it, but racism doesn't have to be hateful to be troubling. It's just reality and I work around the discomfort. No race should have to, but I admit that I have trouble feeling sympathy for white people bemoaning the lost unawareness that I - and many other minorities - have never had.

welcome to how I've felt

I have trouble feeling sympathy

Huh? Well, I sympathize with both of you because I've felt the same way as you all my life. - different anon, white/mixed-race white-passing in a racially diverse city
