Oh, yeah, been there, done that. It's a nudge, nudge, wink-wink, we're white and they're not and aren't we the entitled rulers of the world? Makes my skin crawl every time it happens.

It's the same thing with LGBTQ situations, too. I might look like everyone's kindly grandmother who bakes cookies and should vote republican, but I'm really none of that. I'm bi, liberal as they come, and would vomit rather than vote for that neo Nazi, misogynistic clown.

People who don't know me well will do that sexist, racist, or homophobic commenting or joking and I can't seem to keep my mouth shut. I can lambast with the best of them. However, you were probably wise not to say anything, mainly because right now the crazy white guys are out in force and there's just no telling what they'll do. It could've escalated the situation and made it even worse.

I feel fucking sorry for people of color who have to endure this constant flow of shit. It just makes me so sad that in a country as diverse as ours that it still not only goes on, but flourishes because of assholes like Trump and his ilk. It's just disgusting. We should all be better than that.
