I’m a dude in Oregon. I regularly make bad life decisions and do not make a habit of learning from my mistakes.

Flagrant acts of racism.
Portland pretends to be better than that, but I keep having casual reminders that we’re really white-coded. A black guy walks into the liquor store at 10:00 am and both the women behind the counter have a collective sense of panic when I’m walking up to check out. There was nothing off about him. They just had some immediate sense that he intended harm. The one checking me out said, under her breath, “oh, I thought we were getting robbed”.
It was obvious the dude noticed their reaction, and it made me feel fucking horrible.
