    Racism doesn’t change the skin color of the recipient, however.

    Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.

    Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.

    I was told to be a garbage man. Who the fuck made these tests? My guidance counselor for years told me not to go to college.

    I’m a software engineer now, and while I believe garbage men deserve better pay and benefits and recognition as essential skilled workers, who the fuck tells that to a kid? That they should give up on college and work a labor job for their entire life?
