“I certainly don’t feel diminished as a white person by the bad behavior of other white people”
ditto. which is a good thing considering the antics of one or two of my own WHITE family members!
Oh, I understand completely. I’ve said many times that if I win the lottery I’m going to claim it through a blind trust, otherwise every sorry relative I haven’t seen in twenty years will turn up on my doorstep wanting money. None of my immediate family fall into that category, thankfully, but there are aunts, uncles and cousins particularly on my mom’s side of the family. I grew up watching the “good” aunts whisper back and forth to each other at family gathering, asking who made what, afraid to eat anything the rest of the relatives brought, put it that way.
