        It’s an uncanny irony to me when I hear something like “not everything has to be about race” when, at least from the perspective of a non-white, everything in society really does have an unavoidable racial asterisk that we really wish wasn’t there. Racism a fixed worldwide phenomenon that we have no choice but to acknowledge at this point. It impacts everything.

          Well, you have no choice but to acknowledge it. I’m perfectly capable of pretending it doesn’t exist because it doesn’t negatively affect me.

          (That’s sarcasm, if it wasn’t clear. I hate that there are people genuinely living by that maxim.)
