to my followers who are of colour, what&
#39;s the earliest encounter you remember having with racism
mine happened when I was about 4 or 5 playing in the park with my brother and a group of white kids we&
#39;d just met. one of them starts giving out chewing gum and we asked if we could have one, he replied, "my mummy says I&
#39;m only allowed to share with white people"
also if your takeaway from this is that I used the phrase &
#39;of colour&
#39; rather than the plethora of other terms that can be used to refer to racialised minorities, get your head checked
