I mean I laughed out loud but fuck if it isn't true.

Every conversation is just me waiting for some racist bullshit to come out of their mouths so I can take an x on the fucking bingo card.

And it's not fair, there are tons of perfectly fine and totally not racist white people out there. But then when one of them turns around to my (seriously gorgeous) Brazilian friend and goes "sorry, I only date white girls" and I wonder WHERE THE FUCK THE PERFECTLY FINE ONES ARE.

Well, atleast you know she's not missing out on much.

I wish there was something I could do about these jerks giving my race a bad name.

Unfortunately it's because human nature makes us remember the bad over the good as a way to make sure we learn from mistakes or potential danger.

This means that while out of 1000 people, 10 might be murderers or rapists or pedophiles. We'll still be really cautious with everyone else who isn't.

You remember getting slapped in the face that one time as opposed to all the other times people didn't slap you.
