I mean, I guess I've got ironic badges to spare.

Mmmmm, that patronizing tone, though.

That's just life

is not good enough for me. So you're saying that because racism is a thing, I should just roll over for it? That's a very defeatist attitude, imo. The only reason why there'll be inequities and injustices is if people sit down and let them happen, which you seem keen on doing.

You also seem to be mistaking me hating the fact that people are racist in my university as blaming them for my failures. You'd be wrong there. All I've been doing is succeeding here. Every day I show up to class is a success. Every class that I do well in is a success. Statistically, I should be in jail or dead right about now. But you're equating me wishing I didn't have to wonder every single day why I'm here as "blaming" other people for something that I failed at? You don't even know anything about me, what led you to that conclusion?

And thanks for the reminder that everyone isn't racist. I genuinely wasn't aware of this fact, and honestly thought that every White person I've ever met has been out for my scalp, and in no way is racism dependent on geographical circumstances -- you know, like being in Boulder, the Whitest city in Colorado. Even the White people on Hubski are secretly plotting my downfall.

Really, thank you for reminding me! I suppose the entirety of time I've spent at my school and the circumstances that have occurred there are all invalid now. Woops.

Not to be rude, but, ya know, for someone who talks about how bad and pretentious Hubski is, you've been sticking around for a while now. Weren't you, you know, going to leave?

I mean I've never muted somebody before because I feel it adds a layer of censorship in discussion that I'm not comfortable with, but gat-damn.
