In clubhouse (a voice-only app), I've had the chance to listen to lots of rooms of entirely black people talk, which I rarely get to hear in my daily life. It turns out black people on clubhouse talk about being black a *lot*. They reference blackness in relation to everything.

I felt very intensely 'white' when listening to these groups, when usually I don't notice my skin color if I'm in an e.g., asian-dominant group. It felt very clear that I was *not* in their in-group at all; there was a huge cultural divide that feels explicitly upheld.

This was all kind of surprising to me; I don't know if this is specific to Clubhouse or if this is the way black people view the world in general? And also why haven't I really understood this or heard people talk about it if it is more common outside of Clubhouse?
