And it just. keeps. happening. This. I can't comprehend it?
I grew up in a place that... I hesitate to say it didn't have racism, but it was so small, and so sheltered, that any POC was a novelty. (Or, like, an adopted child, and thus just 'Anna down the road', who might be adopted from Korea but that had no impact on how they were treated.)
Having lived in the UK for 20+ years, I am sadly a lot more aware of the inequalities that are embedded into society. :(
