I’ve never heard someone say the N word in person until today I think. One minority (aboriginal) telling me how something about blacks but using the N word instead of blacks/African-american.

There are a lot of other smaller instances I’ve seen in my personal life too.

I’ve never seen Indian versus Pakistan racism, but I would at least get why that might happen, since history.

In public policy, the majority (caucasians) are prob the most racist here, but in casual conversation I might hear more minority vs minority racism. I think this partially might be because caucasians have it drilled into them (my city) that they have to not be racist in convo?

I’ve never understood why some minority groups didn’t come out to support black lives matter (here), but it seems to look like bc they don’t care to help out blm bc its not explicitly minority-name-here lives matter

☹️

    Because most white people are far more comfortable position than minorities. It’s easy to be tolerant when society isn’t shitting on you. People being shit on will shit on each other hoping to scramble up rather than unite and take on master shitters. I hope I used the word shit enough.
