"I have the privilege of learning about racism, of hearing about it from my family, rather than experiencing it."

Translation: I can't credibly make up being a victim of racism, so I learn about it by hearing other people make it up.

Remember, nothing makes those victims of racism angrier than telling them access to white people is not a human right.

Someone can write about nonsensical first world complaints over what its like to be very short or to be left handed when everything is built to be for right handed people (not to mention being left handed can actually be really bad depending if you are born in a superstitious 3rd world country) and it would be just a silly as this .

OR how about what its like to be a white in a majority black area. ?

Honestly, I can't think of any definitive instances in my life where I was discriminated against based on my race.

If I had to say, it's probably when I was in Los Angeles when I was trying to get a table at a Korean restaurant. They claimed it was full then some Korean showed up and got a table before me. Funny thing is, I'm half Japanese. So that's maybe the only time.

When I was in the military and stationed in the South. I was a bit worried at first since before leaving everyone back in L.A. would tell me how I'd get lynched, mocked etc. None of that ended up happening. In fact during my time in the South, I dated mostly white women and no one really seemed to care. It was just normal to them. In L.A. the race of your partner somehow matters and people tend to comment about it. In the end I ended up marrying a white woman. And again the only people to comment about her race are people in L.A. after I moved back there.

The Koreans hate the Japanese, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Been a while since I've browsed their news feed, Buzzfeed is still utter trash.

Try going back to the Old Country and see how much you identify with them. They'll probably laugh at you for butchering the language and bitching about the lack of air conditioning.
