Had a great day where I learned a lot, but reality of being a #WOC, is that I had a good day in spite of racial microaggressions. [Thread]pic.twitter.com/9JzWTl4r8T

In the past week: 1) Upon learning I'm Peruvian, 1 WW disrespects Indigenous people of Peru; refuses to listen why it's offensive.pic.twitter.com/2AtSKNWdSX
"I'll never be able to say it!"
- but making a show of your discomfort is just White people saying they don't know any 2) Another WW loudly proclaims anti-racism is silly concept and starts convo on this. Has previously consulted me about my work on race.

I'm used to it because it's so routine. But I'll never be okay with it. And I'll never let it slide. They can just squirm when I don't laugh

As WOC, sadly, I know we're all used to it in varying degrees. But yeah, I don't ever let it slide.
