my objective reality has changed in two months. it's a lot to take in.
my subjective reality has changed in two days. it's a lot to to take in.
Is it racist to be attracted to someone because of their ethnicity? If it's different from your own, people'll scream hell yeah. same as your own, it's all good homie, explore that shit. when you're white, ethnic identity is oft overlooked. some restaurants have signs at the front saying "no checks" and she says "that's racist." and she's won me, for now. but I'm still in love with the brown girl with the red heart and closed ears.
dialectics, patriarchy, white supremacy, blah blah. shit's complicated, but when it comes down to it, you can have conversations or you can't. let's have that conversation, lady, and I'll buy you breakfast. can't/won't have a conversation with me? scramble your own eggs. maybe lunch is safer.
