It's more work to feel comfortable in your own skin when others express discomfort around you.I have been told that I "talk about race too much" or "make everything about race" by other students and my roommates - but when it happens to you the first time, you second guess yourself for the rest of your life.
They don't know it, but it's those white folks who make everything about race, because if they didn't, you wouldn't.
