I've been racially abused enough times to know the heckling is often just them working themselves up to violence.

What if the situation was reversed? If a Sikh man yelled and pointed in a White woman's face for minutes on end? He'd still be in jail.

WP share these examples to feed their colonial picture of POC as noble savages. They don't care about Jagmeet Singh or his humanity

WP rarely act when they witness racism. Every time I've been attacked in public, they look away. In private, room full of WP, even worse.

If we defend ourselves, is never in anger because we've been conditioned to stay stoic & bc it's dangerous, they get even more angry.

I'm remembering the time I was sat down with a racist to talk it out because I'd made a complaint. Both were more interested in my reaction.
