Was in the barber shop today and these dudes were talking about racial shit. Dude's skin was so pale that you could see the blood through his skin. He wasnt white, he was red.

Even worse some of my black friends insist on being called black instead of African-American. Most of them arent black, but brown.

What the hell, man

i'm in the heart of virginia. People here are really racist (just moved from california)

Im biracial myself but most people assume I am white, so they sometimes say super racist shit they wouldnt normally in front of a non-white individual

Hispanic people get thrown in with whites when it's convenient and Asians seem to slip under the radar completely, I'm not sure how that works. Lots of people love to complain that America is set up in favor of the white man, well, then can somebody explain how Asians manage to have higher educational achievement, higher incomes, and longer life expectancies?

That doesn't fit the narrative of big bad whites holding down other people.

Asians are shorter which is one of the primary reasons they live longer. Also, Asians in America are the filtrate of successful individuals who had the means to travel to America (Already had money, an education or at least valued such things)

But yes, Asians are completely under the radar which supremely strange. Hispanics are only lumped in with whites in demographics. They are seen as completely different from whites from my experience
