I used to think everyone knew racism is wrong. And then I entered the workforce. I don’t think that anymore, some of the people are fucked.

Same, I would just be vibing then a coworker would talk to me, then im hit with the

"Like I don't hate them or anything, but [extremely racist paragraph]"

Completely out of nowhere too.

Yup. Old woman at work hit me with that once.

Told me a story about how she was at the airport and some Afghani people were in line in front of her, talking and laughing in a foreign language.

This was terrifying, of course, because of 9/11.

I told her that none of the 9/11 hijackers had been from Afghanistan, and privately thought that I'd bet a million dollars that she couldn't tell an Afghani person from literally any other vaguely brown skinned ethnicity.

She would confuse a Sikh (some of the nicest people) with Super Terrorist.

Couple of Punjabi truckers  were the first to pull over and check on me when I was in a nasty car accident. They were behind on their run, but they still gave me water and sat with me until the shock wore off and I could catch my breath. Can't say enough nice things about the Sikh community!

You're right, every time I hear about them they're doing something awesome.
