just reminded of the time I was violently slurred at in a parking lot in Virginia when I was younger.
When I stand next to my father, it's very obvious that we're not super white. Sure, my skin is white, but obviously for some people it isn't "enough."
so when I was like 6 or 8, in a parking lot about to go into a grocery store in Virginia, some old ass guy slurred at me and my father. My dad picked me up and ran me to the car and we drove away without our groceries.
We've made a lot of changes to our family to avoid this happening, and since then it's happened very little. I live in a very nice area, but every once in a while someone whispers "fucking D*go" and I've just got to try not and get angry.
