We swim in a sea of racism—everything is wet Everything in the United States is touched by racism and so every single one of our interactions is racialized. Everything we experience is “seasoned” with racism. And because that is an ongoing reality, because it is so ingrained in the fabric of our society, it is both hard to identify for many of us, and its perpetrators often have plausible deniability. Too frequently the perception of people of color of racism is named as hysterical or untrustworthy because those who harm them are merely asking questions. But racism is so nefarious that while intention may be innocent, we must interrogate the impact of it.
