1. So it& #39;s great that racism is being discussed, but we also need to talk about certain groups that sometimes uphold/perpetuate the same oppression in America -Asians, Arabs, Indians. They own many restaurants, beauty supply/corner/liquor stores in Black neighborhoods.
2. You easily get racially profiled, PHYSICALLY/VERBALLY accosted, or be met with bias. It& #39;s almost to the point when you have to walk with your hands visible, leave your purse, or come in with nothing to avoid scrutiny/being followed while shopping. DONT! come in with a group
3. They will watch! Most don& #39;t even hire Blk ppl (prefer Hispanics) or will have 1 Blk worker which is crazy bc most of their biz comes from us

This doesn& #39;t apply to EVERYONE In those groups but SOME make it hard to do basic stuff like buy a soda.

"Shopping while Black" is real
