26. Some of us have endured this our whole lives

but it's getting a bright spotlight now because of phone cameras and social media. As it gets exposed and condemned, more white liberals would become woke and hopefully society will evolve. Slowly but surely, things are changing.

For me, it's mostly immigrants who are convinced that I must be an immigrant not a citizen since I'm not white. And people of all types are convinced that my name isn't real since brown people can't have "western sounding" Christian names.
