“I’ve experienced racism in my life that has scared me.… I remember once I had people yell at me from their car and call me an alien, but I have to admit the times I really think about are those little moments, like where I was walking in a white neighborhood and I had someone say ‘excuse me, are you lost?’ and I think those just stick with you more because … when you think you belong, but very quickly you realize that other people think you don’t belong.”9
