In all the theaters I was always a Prince, A Heartthrob or Barbarian, never someone with a deep character that wasn't a main theme or unconventional because of my appearance, people called me "little woman" so, for a child between 7 11 years ago this was very offensive.

I'm just a redhead with blue eyes to most of the world, you know how depressing and knowing what it's like to have a girlfriend I just wanted to be with you because I was European!

I dread the idea of ​going to the USA because it would probably fry some american brains who would try to classify me

I do not think I would trade our problems.
Life for some black folk can be complicated enough already without having conversations like these with each other.
Even as a traveler, I could not claim to understand everyone's perspective, but I certainly never dismissed them.
More power to you, and I hope you find that often illusive place that accepts and sees you as you accept and see yourself.
I have not met a human with skin yet that does not struggle at least a little, and ironically amongst their own "kind" more often than not to find that place for themselves.

Just remember that every distinct group of people has their own bag of prejudices to work through, and while you are stepping from one to the next like there is no difference, which is the it way it should be for the most part, you got to remember that like each of us has a nuance of flavor we want respected, there are some nuances of flavor between groups that have to be respected too.

Well, I am glad you stopped in, and I promise you will have taught someone something before you step back out.
Good luck to you.

You should of went to a college anywhere else but the United States. Our colleges are glorified daycare centers.

Hahaha no, I'm not called german. Actually I was bullied a lot in my school years because I was very skinny and short, despite my "european" appearance, and because of this I'm very shy and socially anxious. After finishing school I grew taller (1,82m baby 😎) , started working out and got a... Decent job. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my life is hard, it's the opposite actually. I have two loving parents, I live in a decent brazilian state (Paraná), have a job that pays my bills, etc. I'm clarifying this because last time I told these stories I had to hear people say "But you're privileged, why are you complaining about your life". Like... Dude... It's not like I'm comparing myself to american black people for example.

That's okay, our lives are not really that hard either if we are being honest.
Sixty years of Democrat mismanagement of their urban plantations notwithstanding, we always had the choice of walking away and making our own destinies, but some collars are harder to slip than others.
Especially when you are being paid to wear them.

The beauty of American extravagance is that we can all afford to live by some measure of "privilege", or an overdeveloped sense of entitlement depending upon what side of Progressive identity politics you fall on.

If by daycare, you mean Marx inspired cultural reeducation camp.

I see. Sorry, I'm not very familiar with current american politics and society. So I guess it's not as bad as my teachers made it seem, I guess?

Oh, do not get me wrong.
We have our problems. Who doesn't?
The trick is knowing who is ultimately responsible for causing and fixing them, and that is where the "transparency" of American institution fails us, your teachers, and you.
Do not feel bad.
I had to grow up in, and then escape it to figure it out for myself.
Not many of us get the chance to do that on our own terms.

Yeah, unfortunately way too many people still live in their bubbles where the world is black and white. Leaving these bubbles of misinformation, growing up and thinking for yourself takes some real maturity

Do not overlook vengeance politics, though.
For the masters of US identity politics, color blind societies and judgement based on character are now considered code in a new age redefinition of white supremacy.
Objectivity and equality are not enough.
We have to be "anti-racists" now, endlessly scouring and shaming even our closest friends and allies, because there can never be a resolution for this particular gem in the Progressive "equity" arsenal.
It is an ugly cultural Marxist dynamic I have been watching play out on two continents, and it is turning real and meaningful ethnic gains on their head.

I would ask humbly if you feel we have really tried genuinely confronting the contents of our character. There is white generational wealth in the US built on the backs of slave labor from human beings that we bought, sold and bred, that's perhaps an inconvenient truth but a truth nonetheless. So how to get to equality and objectivity without truly addressing that? Unfortunately we are too afraid to do so. We persistently have fear of equal rights and opportunity - the current obsession with calling any attempt to address or even discuss inequality "CRT" or "identity politics" is coming from that fear. We see this played out again and again in our history (the Tulsa Massacre, Wilmington 1898, Charlottesville, etc.) It's like those sins of the past we never purged reach up through the American psyche and require the demonization of the people we have historically oppressed and abused, because if they are the cause then we were somehow justified. The fact that we put up monuments to the Confederacy, that most of those monuments were put up during the Jim Crow/Civil Rights era and that there's resistance to removing them to this day tells you how much soul searching we still have to do.

I know right? Sadly, we constantly see these collectivist groups considering themselves the "good" guys fighting the "bad" guys. It's just too frustrating to me.

"We fight today over an offense we did not give, against those not alive to be offended."

Erasing history, and punishing people living today for what their great grandaddy might have done to my great granddaddy does not help my people embrace the potential of today and tomorrow.
Every aspect of grievance politics keeps us leashed to political handlers that are enriching themselves at our expense.
