“These incidents may appear small, banal and trivial, but we’re beginning to find they assail the mental health of recipients.” 

-Sue et. al , 2007

If white people would even admit any of the stuff on this list was racist my life would be easier.

I’m white and not only do acknowledge that all those things are racist but also super fucking douchy.

I’ve experienced…all of these. Wow.

Same, multiple times, since I can remember.  Honestly, especially when I was in school, I experienced at least one of these things almost daily.

=(. i’ve experienced just about all of these too, including this first one as an alien in our own land. i know so many Black people who are asked where they are from regularly by white people who for some reason can’t fathom we were born in the U.S. even tho many of our families have been here longer.

as for the criminality one, it would happen to me and my brother a lot, even when young. and we used to get so annoyed, we started doing shit like seeing old white ladies while we were in the car waiting for our mom, and lock the door really fast like we were scared and stuff. get back at em lol.

this is an amazing graphic organizer.
