I learned a lot from my abuse as a racist under the Obama administration. I became one for a long time but now I am writing that off as a learning experience. Watching the Billie Holiday film last. Weekend pulled me back to short order in n that regard.
I was just very ignorant-as the daughter of British immigrants—and truly a spoiled brat.
similarly I had no interaction with Latino American culture until au landed at the EACU
in Allentown after a horrific overdose in 2017. Where they mocked and disdained we me and made a joke about me among the Puerto Rican nurses. They all thought I was going to die anyway.
recently I was in another facility staffed with Blacjs and Latinos and the clients were largely PA Dutch. It was a strange world there but after 4 months I am finally out of there in n my head.
as ai said, I had to learn about the culture to become a real American.
I have lived to see another day. My son’s girlfriend is Latino so I really needed a crash course in the culture.
