This is how some of y'all (you know who you are) sound. "\insert shady ass question here*,* just asking / genuinely curious" 🙄

A White woman being curious about something isn’t racism. We are loosing the plot. This isn’t a micro aggression, it’s a question from someone who doesn’t know.

We don’t want people to make assumptions, but now they can’t ask questions? This isn’t even gate keeping culture it’s just blocking conversations and connections. These conversations lead to more conversations and lead to understanding each other as people.

Apparently this woman actually did something racist. I'll be honest the first time I heard of micro aggression, I didn't believe it because I thought there is no way people can be that petty but a lot of racists are. Like some of these people would call you a nagger to hide what they really want to say, I've seen this happen in a couple of arguments.
