Yep. Grew up white, surrounded by whites, and making all the same casual jokes about other races that we all only saw on TV. Nothing malicious, we weren’t racist or nothing, they’re all fine, they’re just different.

It really stopped me interacting easily with a variety of people, until I stopped seeing them as stereotypes and just treated them like people. They’re not different, except when they are. Just like white people.

Jeez, even now I know too few non-white people. Being way too interested in people’s differences can be a problem.
