So what? What prevents you from reading this thread with the "I'm white but I suffer racism too" lens?

  What prevents me from seeing all my interactions through a racial lens and reading all posts through a racial lens is the understanding that skin color is one of the least interesting things about a person. Will your path cross racists? Of course. But it's not a big deal, relative to all the other challenges in a given day. This author makes it the be-all and end-all, and can't seem to experience the world of work any other way.

    > Will your path cross racists? Of course. > But it's not a big deal, relative to all the other challenges in a given day. We need a clarification here. Are you black? Because if you aren't, you have no reference to say how many racists a black person crosses daily neither the impacts of these interactions. You are just saying your BS and hoping that people will see logic in it.

      I don't feel I have anything to prove to you, one way or the other. Either HN readers will see the validity of what I'm saying or they won't. When someone goes into every interaction with a chip on their shoulder, there's no satisfying them.

        I can see it in your engagement on this thread. Like someone said, if you throw a rock into a pack of wild dogs the one you hit will always holler.
