>> That’s funny, she’s reclaiming a slur

I was astonished.

First, upon learning what #coconut meant, and then, seeing her use that label as a matter of pride, and not at all in a joking way.

She herself is a pretty dark shade of brown on the outside, and I guess a pretty dark shade of white on the inside as well

>> Brown people are paying for multiple branches of govt to derp Nazi trash at us because they’re big wet losers. Just the softest, frailest insides…

A wealthy Indian woman in #Chicago told me "We hate people from California" — to my face, at our 1st meet AFTER I told her I had moved from CA!

She said she is a #coconut. Never heard that term in the #BayArea in 25 years. Upon asking, she said "brown on the outside, #white inside," as if whiteness was a virtue.

Bigotry begins at home.

The #lagoon tour in #BoraBora was the best in French #Polynesia. We learned how to weave hats from #coconut leaves, saw fantastic spots to #swim and #snorkel with lots of #sharks , #stingrays and #colorful #fish and #corals . https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Bora-Bora-Snorkeling/#lagoon
