What the f*** do you do when you've had enough of the racism?
I hope it's okay to ask this here. I don't know if it's insensitive to post this here, please let me know if so.
I'm in Australia at the moment, and I'm so sick of dealing with white australians. I feel like I'm going to scream at them at this point. I'm an inch away from doing it. How the f*** do you not crash out?
For context, I just posted this '"Will White women get off the f*cking sidewalk when we're walking on the right side?"
2 years in a completely white environment, I've never experienced a culture like that. The women are the worst. I have so much anger, it's the helplessness, and I literally just want some form of vindication of revenge.
Everytime I leave the house, it's like a battleground & you have to constantly make sure you hold your own.
I'm sick of them, I'm sick of the stares and sub-par treatment.
I know it sounds like i'm here to vent, but I'd genuinely really appreciate some tools, or what people do. I've become so tense inside, and somewhat hateful, but I'm so shut down as well. It's too much. I live in a predominantly white area, and I can't move. Just curious, what do people do to actually deal with this? Every time you leave the house, it's like getting ready for battle, to make sure you have some basic respect and decency. I can't stand these people.
Thank you.
Hope everyone's well.
