[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the frustrating thing about 21st-century discrimination.  Educated people will not call you the "n" word or display other overt signs of racism.  Instead, it's the very ambiguity and the subtlety of these interactions that can be frustrating.  At least with overt displays, you know where you stand.  With less overt displays, in isolation they are harder to prove, and perhaps easy to dismiss as a one-off.  You may tell yourself you're being paranoid.  But it's the accumulation of these sorts of interactions--being mistaken for staff, etc.--that happen on a regular basis that may convince the recipient that race/ethnicity was the determining factor in their unfair or differential treatment.[/quote]

How about you stop fixating on race and stop worrying what other people think about you? I think that white folks get annoyed with AAs because 90% of what they talk about is race. At some point you need to just buckle down, study, and work hard.  The milking of "discrimination!" for all it's worth needs to stop.[/quote]

How about you not entering a thread clearly marked "race" if you don't want to hear what posters have to say?[/quote]

I'm trying to explain to the poster that one reason people may take her race into account is that she is constantly bitching about race. [/quote]
