Because the media is hella biased. I'm half white half Hispanic (hear me out, most of my Hispanic part is central American and Puerto Rican, white side is Scandinavian and goes back to the Vikings). I look more Hispanic, but i too have dealt with people being stupid about my white side. Even on this site, a guy claimed I'm part of the KKK and slashing his family because he's black and I'm just like "uh what." Then he found out I'm half Hispanic and claimed I'm nice because of my Hispanic side. Talk about racist judgement smh.

Don't you believe it.. I was racially abused and bullied by 4 black guys at school. They made my life a living hell for years. They did it in such a way that I could not tell ANYONE, because if I did, they claimed they would slit my throat and burn my parents house down as they slept!
I never fully disclosed the whole thing to my dad when I eventually told him. There is a lot more to it as well, but I did finally have my revenge on them.. Nearly got expelled for it too.. (It was reduced to a suspension after my Dad went up to the school and told them what he knew, although he never knew about the racial aspect.
I went to a school that had a black student union. Obviously I was not welcome there. If I wanted to have a white student union I would be called a racist. I can probably come up with a dozen of so similar occurrences. I had to hire several people for my department. I was told by HR that if a minority candidate was qualified I had to hire them. It did not matter if they were not the beat candidate.
Because social media is biased. There's plenty out there.

I experience it at my work most the people i work with are latinos , nothing has been said to me but there is a vibe there that makes me think so but i have never experienced it directly so there is no real proof
b/c it doesn't fit the narrative.
i see or experience it at least once a week.
bottom line is - if you let it define you, it will eat you.
do what you can do.
leave the rest in the hands of those who can/will.My first school I went to I used to get jumped a lot for being "too white"
Because it's not called racism if they're white and get hated on. Or ridiculed for only being white.
Because we don’t care
