Well fucking duh. You’re soapboxing an obvious point.
That’s the exact point I was trying to make. My skin doesn’t change me as a person but peoples judgement of my skin does. If we wouldn’t judge people based on that we wouldn’t divide our self in this toxic way

I just wanted to know if other people also feel uncomfortable about this like me

So your question is “does anyone else not like racism?”
You’re really toeing the no such thing as a stupid question line

If everybody would just join hands and sing kumbaya, there would be no more wars!
Racism exists. You can’t end racism by pretending everybody is the same, and that cultural differences aren’t shaped by racism, whether it’s historical, institutional, or just regular conservativism, racism is pervasive in every country in the world. Familiarity fosters empathy, so engaging in multicultural exchanges is the best weapon against racism. But that means embracing our shared experiences and our differences, and acknowledging that we’re not all the same. Your skin color is a part of you, and it shapes who you are. If you think it hasn’t, you’re probably white.
