Sympthsical

3. Here's the thing about the Bay Area

It's extremely diverse - and I love that about it. I'm the only white guy in my social group. It's a lot of fun.

But minority on minority bigotry is an entire thing here. In AAPI subgroups, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Filipinos, etc. do not necessarily get along, and Chinese - particularly students - have their own homegrown thoughts about . . . well, every other AAPI group. South Asian bigotry in tech is a whole situation down in Silicon Valley.

One time I was chilling with a Black friend of a friend who made a face and comment at me because, "Why do you want to be around those Mexicans?"

Appearance is truly skin deep. Being a flawed human goes straight to the mitochondria.
