[...] I write about patriarchy and kyriarchy and
intersectionalism. I write about the racism and transphobia and
sexism and disablism I encounter, both around me and in my own
thinking. [...]

I have to comment this time! I’m white, and I date an Asian man and we have a mixed daughter. I’m so blind to race that I forget he’s Asian and call him white sometimes. HA! That’s not to say I do see his race (or half of my daughter’s) but it’s just…he’s the norm for me…and the norm here is still pretty freakin’ white.

Thank you.

I have a hard time with this type of post, especially when no one comments, so it's good to know they're read and appreciated.

It's not all that surprising, though: I live in a racist society, as a person with ginormous amounts of white privilege. I'd be surprised if I didn't still have racist thought patterns.

Horrifying, yes. Surprising, no. It's a testament to the pervasiveness of racism.

I'd love to see that post. I think it's really important we sometimes shine a light on the ugly things we'd rather not see. Far better to see them and work to get rid of them than to pretend they're not there and thus protect them.

I've had a draft of a post about how easy I have found to couple frustration with neighbors with their eastern European ethnicity. But I'm not sure I really want to admit that I'm so primitive. I am appalled at my own thoughts often enough to keep my pride in check.

You seem like an intellectually aware person, so the racism in your brain is surprising. Thanks for sharing.
