I don't think we ever can.
I'm half white and asian. So you can probably guess what I look like. A tan white guy. And for whatever reason people of all colors have shared their racist views with me. I guess because they thought I was one of them? Or just fair game because I wasn't really white nor whatever? I also grew up in a Navy town (Norfolk, Virginia) which meant all my friends were either Irish, Italian, Latino, or Black. I was the only asian guy in the very large bunch. Talking 50 friends, at least.
Anyways it is fucking shocking how racist everyone is out there. Being a child between worlds I never thought about race, not like others. I mean I knew I was a mongrel really.
