There is part truth in what you say. Where I lived, I was the only white person in the whole neighbourhood. I later learned there was another - after we dated and a neighbour told me because he found that odd. When I learned to drive, I was the only white person in the school. When I took the exam, there was a white examinator - we all feared him, because he failed more students than most based on technicalities. We he told me he would fail me if I didn't do this special maneuver right on my 3rd and final attempt, I thought to myself I'll total the car if needed, but I'll do whatever. Because there was this doubt in my mind he was being extra pricky for me because of that. When I went to the university, there was about 2 other white person in my whole class. I would estimate 5% to 10% maximum of the university. Things I heard. Things told to me when I tried to run for a student election: "you are a nice person and you have good ideas, unfortunately we both know we are not going to be elected. I would have a chance. You don't". He was wrong, I was elected. It was always an uphill battle. Eventually I said f that, and I moved away. The thing that really drove it was often being asked "how long are your vacation here?" I guess everything else I tried to do doesn't make a difference in the mind of most people. Yes I had good friends that saw beyond the difference and to which I was a normal person. But in the daily life you meet more than just friends. You know the funnier thing? I'm not exactly what one US person would call white. When I visited europe, I found it funny to be followed by security guard. To always be asked to have my bag inspected. To be checked for ID - sometimes everyday by the same policeman. Just for fun. It aint fun. So I am the biggest racist? Maybe. I am no longer a minority. I moved to a country where I do not stand out. It has been years. I love every minute of it. Being able to have normal interaction with people who won't assume the worst of me. It sucks to stand out in the middle.
