Ma was complaining about not getting a job and I kinda had to cringe. She and Gramma made a couple jokes about the fact that the guy she spoke to might not even read English. "I know his name sounds Anglo, but you can never be sure."
*headdeskfacepalm*
I so wished I could have told Ma to shut up. I know I aint the best person to let her know, white privilege and all that crap, but at least I am aware of it. Well, Ma might be aware also, but I know for a fact it is hard to change habits. I know I suck at changing privileged habits.
I guess it's cause of Dunbar. I mean, I know slightly what it is to be "other". It was not as bad as non-Anglos in real life, but I have a basic idea that I can extrapolate from. And google. Google is always awesome.
I just wish I could be braver.
