Minorities Break Down The Most Oddly Racist Thing They've Ever Experienced
https://www.georgetakei.com/most-oddly-racist-thing-2646810721.html?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1
Racism is terrible, there's no room for debate on that. But sometimes terrible things can also be terribly weird.
Today we're going to talk about instances of racism that left the victim confused more than hurt. Because, apparently, some people need to be told that Asian women are allowed to be named Lisa.
One Reddit user asked:
Minorities of reddit, what experience was so unbelievably racist, to the point where you weren't even mad, but just... Confused?
And fam, I cannot handle it. Some of these people legitimately seem like they mean well - which kind of makes things worse, honestly.

This is one of the more amazing things I've read in a while.
When I was probably in preschool or kindergarten a blonde white girl licked my face to see if I was made of chocolate. I kind of liked it. Her name was Karen. That sounds like a joke, but isn't. We're still facebook friends.
