Fixed that for you.

Listen. Nobody knows anything about you. You could be the disabled native muslim gay transwoman in the sky for all we know.

I can assume that somebody with a shared experience of race as me knows exactly the reason why we're "divided into smaller and smaller groups:" Because we're fucking put there and reminded of it every time somebody asks "what are you?"

I can assume that somebody without a shared experience of race as me understands the difference between color and race as it was discussed in that thread.

You say things that do not support that you share my race experience.

But go ahead and be coy; it's moot to you after all, isn't it?
