>>2854788I've never felt any more connected to Black people than any other people. As far as I see it, which race you are born into isn't your choice at all, it is simply a card in the hand you have been dealt. I don't see why I should relate to people on just that.
A few other things, I've only had one girlfriend. She was russian, blue/green eyes (heterochromia). Things were awkward in regards to how other people viewed us. Most black girls at my school weren't too pleased and avoided me, which they did before anyways.
I feel racism is, at least where I live in Canada (a suburb of toronto) pretty much dead. There isn't anyone who is blatantly racist in public anymore really. If they are, they do a good job at hiding it.
Along with this, I sometimes use stereotypes to my advantage, mostly by perpetuating them when need be.
Sometimes I find it fun to purposely walk around with a fucked up look on my face looking for old white ladies to scare, getting them to cross the road when the see me and then crossing with them.
Why I wrote all this, I don't know, and I'm just taking a break from playing Vandal Hearts (psx, shit's cash.)
