God damnit diabolika I lapped up every last moment of this piece and enjoyed it so much.

This is essentially how I see this world. There are certain people in this world that when I see (not talk to, see) it sets off an alarm in my head. I know this to be cultural programming and also quite a bit of what you stated in your article -- someone that doesn't look like me.

I think everyone is like this. Of course some more than others but I think everyone to a certain extent rushes off into a mini version of flight or fight when they see people that are different to them.

How they react to that stimuli is the difference. like, we can all be polite and treat people with a certain base level of respect but it doesn't mean that I have to actively pander to them. My people are my people. That's why expat communities are a thing, yes.

This crazy equity thing that's sweeping the world seems utterly insane to me.

And now I'm also intrigued. Here it is the "white people" that are the oppressors and that are fundamentally racist, and you mention a lot of what we seem to be experiencing over here too.

It seems from what I am reading in your piece that you are being called a "racist." - what are the terms for being a racist where you live because I have always seen you as a someone with an olive Spanish complexion.

Here a Black person cannot be a racist because they are systemically oppressed. And a white person cannot not be racist.

P.S. You still need to tell me where you are from :P
