    Racism. I’ve been called racial slurs for not just my race, but other races. I’ve been profiled by police. I’ve watched my boss not only allow racist remarks made by my coworkers for no reason (eg: working like a hard-R) but laugh along to them. People judge Tarantino’s movies for excessive use of racism but I think they’re the most honest depictions of American culture.

      Same for me in but with homophobia. Family friends and co workers. People act like LGBT people are free… They aren’t. I’ve dealt with more than just jokes. Life is hell. Good luck with your journey.

        I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through. While things are getting scary, know that you’re not alone and there are many of us willing to stand up against your oppressors. We’ll make sure that bigotry becomes a thing of the past.

          We’re so sorry people are making you go through that. Know that you have allies. Both of you.

        It doesn’t matter if you are a minority, people will always find reasons to exclude you.
