@miketheitguy I'm a white skinned, cis gendered Jewish male. Grew up with some racist family, identified as a self hating Jew for many many years. My last tour in Iraq, I worked with people from India as well as locals on work crews. Mind blowing, eye opening experience...

Just people, just more humans. So now I lean into that experience hard, correct people around me who decide to carry on (even unknowingly) racist/prejudiced speech/thought. Cost me some family ties, but I gladly keep going.
