I have to ask this, have you been nervous since the #blm protests?
I've been to two different places a chiropractor and a skin clinic and each time I've been dealt with by Caucasian women. After a small time with me I notice their nerves building.
I'm not a monster. But they get really awkward. Either dropping something or flapping.
I think it’s more just a sign of outward racial tension in general. Things had seemed to have gotten better but the racists and divisionists (probably feeling marginalized) of each race have recently within the last few years gotten much louder and more active. So regular people that just want to get along don’t always know when we are dealing with someone like that. Makes us a little more anxious.
@canusernamebemyusername I'm like that in airports and that's why I refuse to fly with my mum anymore. She always has something in her bag they have to search and throw.
@Mellowgirl I meant the byproduct, not your actions during.
Your Caucasian friends won’t be different. They may just ask your experiences to try to get a better understanding of the picture through your eyes.
The Caucasians you meet in public, in a business setting, have to be overly accommodating. They have to respect the power of social media sites where your claim of racism could destroy a company’s on-line image (if that was your intent, which I’m not suggesting).
@JoeyFoxx when I would visit hospitals or any establishment people would just deal with Me. But I find these days people seem to get nervous. Maybe I'm intimidating them but I'm not doing it intentionally. I actually talk to them like they're my friend I always have. Especially given the current situation(covid) I try to make sure they're OK.
@bijouxbroussard no, I'm generally uncomfortable around people because they get weird with me. But when I ask its because people say to me I'm so nice. Are people angry aliens or something?
So if nice makes people feel weird then that's what it is.
@BabyLonia quite possibly. I don't really deal with very many white people in my area as the shopkeepers tend to be Indian or Iranian or Turkish. So u just noticed this especially with them as they're white. As you know I don't have an issue with white people, but things have happened even when I'm just being normal and not talking about race..
