OMG! SO many assumptions made about me!!!

I am not white. I have experienced racism, I have had "nigger" shouted at me. Have you ever experienced that? I had someone take a science textbook from me when I was a kid because "that was not for me". I had a white man break up with me because he told me he could not admit to his parents he was dating me. I could go on...

So yeah, your assumptions about me are false.

Re. Meghan - if I just expressed my opinion, then I could be wrong. But I pointed out some FACTS that contradict what Meghan said. You are entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts.

Based on actual evidence, Meghan is either a liar or has remarkably poor memory.

None of which means she didn't have to deal with racism. If she had stuck to actual incidents of racism without prevarication, she might have garnered my sympathy.
