Students were required to address ‘whiteness’ and describe what the term ‘white’ means, as well as explain how they ‘navigate race’ in their daily lives.

I see where you're coming from, and I thank you for your words, but after reflecting on this whole thread, I've come to realize that, with very few exceptions, the people I've met in life have been one or more of:

  • Entitled privileged assholes
  • Jealous of my entitled privileges
  • Thinking I was a fool or crazy for not exploiting my entitled privileges
  • Seeing everything I did or said as an attempt at exploiting my entitled privileges

It suddenly explains all the interactions that left me baffled at the time, and it makes me sick. Maybe I've been just unlucky, or bad at seeking out people who don't fit any of those, but at this point it makes me want, more than ever, to leave and not look back.
