i thought it was only me on the grid. so to see someone else that looks like me and work with the person and understand where they come from... the racism aspect, a lot of people don't understand it. if it's not blatant, it's not racism. you know as a black person, which is quite hard to explain to someone who isn't black. i wouldn't say there has directly been a case where i have been discriminated in a sense, but you do always get the feeling that it is going to happen. it is like little micro aggressions, or you would say something, almost backhanded compliments. so it is making them sound like they are being friendly but you know deep down they are not.
