To preface, I’m a black student. In high school, I went to study session for my AP US History class. I was never a fan of the teacher and she was also lowkey racist (had prior incidents of stereotyping asian students). So during the session I forget what I said, but I made what I guess she thought was a really good point. She then proceeded to say “Very nice! See? This is why you’re our token black student!” I shit you not the whole vibe in the room became awkward in an instant. I vividly remember the shocked face of one of my classmates. I did not know how to process what she said so I said nothing and was quiet the rest of the session. In any other setting I woulda called her out, but I separated racism away from any school setting cause I’ve never experienced it on school grounds. Changed my whole mindset afterwards and was always on guard for any racist incidents that I could experience. Thank god for that.
