Before anyone gets up in arms...I was referred to as 'this white woman' and no one batted an eye.
Lol...That's how you self-identified on this forum, Miss Anne.

(we/sister had to wait outside the building during services.) As far as white acceptance i had to fight white kids almost everyday. I had my family. i worked my Korean grandfather farm/he spoke 3 words of English. and tried to hang out with my 1/2 Korean cousins who were a min of 15 years older than me. and was with my dad on the weekend who fixed cars on the weekend. so i learned how to wash parts in gasoline, and scrape gaskets.
Maybe people mistreated you because they sensed that you were an ass and that you sucked. Ever consider that?
Let me guess: The discrimination you faced was very, very real.
With black folks' it's all in their heads, though.
I'm not saying black people were never mistreated. i am saying you always belong to a race. even on a plantation when it was just you, you were never alone. you always belonged. you always had a brother even if you never met that man before... I can only imagine it being stronger with whites who share similar back grounds.
