Here is an exhaustive list of races of people who have caused me direct harm in my lifetime.
1. White people, mostly men.
That's it. A black person has never harmed me. A hispanic person has never harmed me. An asian person has never harmed me. A pacific islander has never harmed me. The list goes on and on.
99% of the people in my life who have harmed me looked similar to me. The other 1% were the rare abusive women my father was attracted to.
Guess which people helped me the most in life? Women, queer people, and BIPOC. Somehow, despite spending most of my life in mostly cishet white "Christian' environments, the kindest people did not look like me. I'm so thankful the internet and social media proliferated. I don't dare think of the person I could have become were it not for the diverse collective of people I'm connected to.
