[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I am a white person, but I have thoughts about the racism issue. Subtle racism is really hard to real with because it can be just as damaging as overt racism, and on top of that you have the extra potential for gaslighting. The offender and others can make you the problem by saying you are overreacting and being too sensitive. Also I wonder if people who are saying it isn’t racism have heard the jokes I have. I am not usually around very racist people (yes I live in a DMV bubble), but a few years back I heard a guy make several jokes about Asian men being short and small (and robotic). He was white and made homophobic jokes too, so you couldn’t really say the jokes were good-natured in any way. I didn’t know before that that comments about stature were part of the racism that Asian men and boys face. So yes I think this was racism and it kind sucks that it is subtle so OP and her son are left wondering. [/quote]
