You don't have to ignore these things. You can acknowledge that they are real and affect you personally, but keep your identity and opinions separate from that.

You don't have to ignore these things. You can acknowledge that they are real and affect you personally, but keep your identity and opinions separate from that. It's the difference between "immigrants tend to have a hard time" vs "white people are trash", or giving preferential treatment to your fellow countryman at work because "it's us against the world".
- geraneum 5y ago> You can acknowledge that they are real and affect you personally, but keep your identity and opinions separate from that I think this is a good way to deal with the issue; they shouldn't be ignored. However it's challenging as you mentioned there are differences. It is not even feasible to merely ignore them if they happen to you and that's exactly my point here. You cannot presumably ignore them and "keep it small" as easily as the author suggests.
