      It almost embarrasses me to talk about it (I have read a few books which have convinced me to anyway) because the bigotry I have encountered in my life pales in comparison to most people of colour. I am pretty unmistakeably Jewish by physical appearance, but I’m sure my skin being white has helped me out a lot more than my looking Jewish has hurt me. I have almost definitely not been mistreated by a cop because of my appearance.

      But I do think it’s important to talk about it anyway.

      Edit: I think the fact that people are downvoting every comment I make here speaks for itself.
