Note

TTPB: Do you think that the only minorities that are discriminated against are Black, Hispanic, and Native American people? Why don't the rest of us get affirmative action to make up for the discrimination we face? I agree that these racist comments are pretty ridiculous, but as an East Indian, I'm tired of universities, companies, and organizations gaslighting me about my own experiences with institutional and academic racism as if only certain groups can face it. I've heard similar sentiments from my East Asian and Middle Eastern friends as well who had to face great amounts of racism especially post-COVID and post-9/11.
