Everyday thoughts of people of color


THANK YOU Buzzfeed. 

If you are not a person of color, this is a peek into the thoughts that run through the minds of people of color in what you might consider simple, everyday encounters.

I can reassure you, this is real life. I've thought all those thoughts, especially the one at airports because I have a mustache and goatee. Every single time, I get pulled aside and individually scanned or patted down.

Are people of color just too sensitive? Should we just chill? We'd love to do just that but we can't act relax like white people because ... well, we're not.
