I got that feeling when I looked around my IB English class senior year of high school, one bi-racial girl, one Hmong girl and 20 some odd white kids. I get that feeling when I look around my public honors college and the population is 80% white. And my biology for bio majors class is 100 students or so and maybe 12 are black. I look at where I am and I KNOW somewhere along the line my white, white skin did something for me, something that I consider unfair, but at the time, how could I know?

I also feel that, as I have never experience racism, its not my place to talk about it. Those who know say its still there, its still strong. I tend to trust them on this. And that others like me, who have never felt racism, should stop talking about things they know nothing about. (That last comment not an attack on anyone here, just a general feeling that applies to everything from racism to enginering to cooking)
