ask :)
Serious question: how do I tell the difference?

It’s the same way neurotypicals learn the preferences of a neurodivergent person.
Many times we make mistakes. And many times we have to be told flat out or pick up cues.

I’m a white Christian man in Texas. I know I’m privileged and that that privilege often comes with ignorance, so I used to be really nervous about offending people inadvertently.
But I eventually learned to just ask if I wasn’t sure.
It did help that one of my best friends in college was a black lesbian who transitioned Jr year. I joked with him that he was my token “X” friend.

You build up knowledge over time by paying attention to how the culture that itbis tied to responds, since most racist stuff doesn’t make logical sense.
