It is quite strong that you have chosen this moment as the most important of 2024. Racism is toxic and comes in different formats, here for example in hive, I have been called "shitty bird" (in a derogatory way) precisely by someone from Germany, simply for being Latin American. Those things are not forgotten, and they hurt.
A very strong episode indeed.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. We Latinos and blacks unfortunately know that one day we will go through this... But it hurts. It will always hurt.
Yes, it is a stigma that we cannot get rid of, we must live with it. In my case, the German who offended me is someone known here on hive, and I decided not to mention his name because I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself (also other episodes happened around that, which were very unpleasant, he was treating me aggressively and rude for a while, until I told her to stop (I have the conversations to prove it). What I want to say is that those who have a certain reputation and power here in hive should lead by example and not rely on their power to hurt others.
Things of life.
