[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope some black ppl realize that Indians are also of color. It drives me nuts when people say that Asians don’t face racism and that they are white.[/quote]

Uh, what black people are you claiming don't realize that Indians/Asians are POC? I'm Indian and while I know I have faced my own share of struggles as a child of immigrants in the US, there is absolutely no comparison to the institutionalized racism that black people in this country face on a daily basis. Also, no one has ever thought I was white (and I am fair skinned with light eyes, so many people have thought I was Latina or mixed race). [/quote]

NP here.  Also Asian and while I agree with you that the racism black people experience(d) absolutely can’t be compared to other POC experiences, there are also many people who don’t think of Asians as people of color.  My own colleagues have told me to my face they don’t consider me POC.  People on DCUM threads have said so- there was one thread the other day where that was repeated several times.  It was shocking to me the first time I heard it but the sentiment does exist amongst some.[/quote]
