Met my new lab partner yesterday, we were discussing our upcoming trip to do fieldwork in China and he said he's been before and didn't like it because "the communism thing was just all made so apparent" and that he "felt constantly watched". He's a 6 foot 3 white dude. OF COURSE PEOPLE LOOKED AT HIM. Nice guy other than that, so I'm hopeful.
White guy experiences a tiny insignificant dose of what minorities experience in America for a fraction of the time and it literally shook him to his core lmao. Maybe he'll be more empathetic from now on.
