Not really. Because of the negative associations with my ethnicity, I stand out. I live in Texas so you can connect the dots.
Even when I was in college, I was the only minority male in most classes.
Just yesterday, a guy came up to me because he thought I worked at Toys R Us. I was not wearing anything that resembled a uniform, but I was mistook for an employee. So was my brother. And he was wearing all black. I saw the guy who he thought we were. We look nothing alike. But to this guy, we looked similar???
Also, this probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but people of color. We are never citizens / Americans. We are the other. No matter how many generations, we are still tied to another nation.
