I'm always stunned when I say something about a racist thing I've witnessed or happened to me and the person I tell about it just acts uncomfortable and embarrassed, as if I just peed on their carpet. It's their silence that freaks me out. Like, they are trying to pretend I didn't just say what I said, and gaslight me into wondering if I said it, or if I imagined what I told them about. Even worse is when it's my own family doing this. I'm multiracial (white father, self-hating afro-latine-indigenous-denying "mestiza" mother), and as you can imagine, it's complicated.
