I don't have a blog anywhere else, so I figured that this is the next best thing. Since I normally don't keep any journals, this is an oddity for me, but I needed to get it off my chest.
I just moved into a neighborhood of that has a higher percentage of whites than where I was, and although I haven't personally been affected by any racism in the town, I know it's there. It seems as though I'm the exception in many cases because despite the fact that I'm of Latino descent, I 'act white' and not at all like what is normally 'expected' from a Latino, that being loud and baggy clothes, dropped civic with a broken exhaust and a sick sound system
