I recommended Arcane to my mom recently and she said she wouldn't watch it because she doesn't like anime... and for some reason that was the last straw.

I've always found it weird that people have such strong opinions on things that they don't even know. Obviously there are exceptions, like nobody is 100% sure of their religion's validity, but they still have to have an opinion on that are just be utterly confused and useless like me right now (but that's besides the point). But why are we trying to act like we know more than we actually do? I often do this too and have been making an effort not to, but sometimes I feel like the only one. Please shut up if you have nothing to say. And also watch Arcane. Adios.

I've never really thought of anti-white racism as an issue but have always wondered if I'm just ignoring it. I've experienced racism plenty of times in my life, and have seen a lot of racism towards my non-white friends (especially Indians and latines) but haven't ever seen direct white racism and where I live there are more Indians than white people. Yeah, I've seen black people who see racism where it isn't, but that's rare and more because racism isn't always obvious. Is that really more of an issue than how western society talks about Indians, or treats latine immigrants, or this obsession with the n word? And especially now with Trump as president? I feel like that is much more impactful than one-off comments about white people that are mostly jokes, or Hollywood's obsession with trying to look as diverse as possible (which I agree is bad but mostly because Hollywood so obviously doesn't care about us as people).

And before you comment just know that I'm talking solely about everyday stuff in the USA that you yourself have experienced. And also I'm very new to politics so don't harass me. And I know this was basically me rambling. Also, if this changes anything I'm American with a Dominican and Honduran Garífuna family.
