Just needed a bit of perspective.
[12:04:26 AM] remember the name: all this…it’s just got me kind of feel all blah, and i’m not sure who to talk to except another filipino ^^
[12:04:41 AM] remember the name: who’s in a similar position like me
[12:05:15 AM] Who is Cam Ward: well, i can see where it can make individuals uncomfortable
[12:05:31 AM] Who is Cam Ward: but i always remind myself that the majority is not of a similar mindset
[12:06:21 AM] remember the name: for the most part, growing up, i hadn’t had to deal with any of that shit, because…well, brampton is crazily multicultural
[12:06:49 AM] remember the name: so, maybe i’m just extra sensitive to these things
[12:07:08 AM] remember the name: i suppose i shouldn’t feel bad
[12:07:30 AM] Who is Cam Ward: you shouldn’t man
[12:07:36 AM] Who is Cam Ward: it doesn’t reflect badly on you
[12:07:51 AM] Who is Cam Ward: but the people who subscribe to that particular mindset
[12:08:05 AM] remember the name: that’s very true.
[12:09:40 AM] Who is Cam Ward: though, this convo reminds me of something that one of my anthro profs told me last year
[12:10:11 AM] Who is Cam Ward: he said that no one is free of prejudicial notions
[12:10:18 AM] Who is Cam Ward: we’re all racist, in effect
[12:10:53 AM] remember the name: hm. it’s true
[12:13:08 AM] Who is Cam Ward: it is
[12:13:21 AM] Who is Cam Ward: its how you act on those notions of course that defines your character
[12:13:52 AM] remember the name: guess i just needed a reminder of that
