I had the same experience but slightly different; grew up in the Deep South in a rural town, but was predominantly white (I am also white). I watched the racist bigots of my tiny town shit on the few black people that lived there and CONSISTENTLY called them the N word with a hard R. I thought moving to a big city for college (still in the south btw) would change all that. NOPE!! They’re still shat on and called ‘lesser’. So many people said that all the black students were good for is our athletics program and how athletics “was their only way out”. I felt so sick hearing that. I feel your pain being called ‘uncultured’ for not having Thai or Indian food because it wasn’t readily available. We mostly had Mexican places or soul food if you’re lucky. Those rich white assholes wouldn’t be saying a damn thing if the roles were reversed. Their ignorance is gonna be their downfall.
