Discussion: Have you ever been the only minority?

MWB

Have you ever been the only person of color at your job, school, or among your friends?

If so, how is it? Is it awkward? uncomfortable?

Dessy Fenix

Yes a lot. I don't try to think about it though. Mostly because no one cares.

Mr.Marvelous

I live in a small town in Belgium, I have always been the only non-white person in my class, or even my entire year.

Mickey

I used to go to a synagogue but I'm not Jewish so that was kinda weird

dannyboy

I was the only swede at my summer job
It wasn't awkward most of the times, but Serbian music is the pits

Afferty

Everytime

only person of rainbow

StonedSoulPicnic

I've been the only POC in a class a few times. It wasn't really weird for me though. I didn't think about it much.

Revolution

No, I see diverse groups of people on a daily basis and all of the schools I've been to have been diverse as well.

Saint

Yes and it's a bit awkward, ngl

Bey_Rihstan

I was the only black girl in my elementary school and now there's two more in the high school mess

I hated black history month because everytime a black person was mentioned they'd be like "wow you're one of those!1!!1"

Often, I go to a PWI and I'm gay af with purple hair so I just stand out of the crowd

*Tim

I was the only white one in my group of friends for several years actually.

(But I'm not a minority in general so idk if I'm "allowed" to comment of if the SJW will come for my ass)

I'm the only Homo-Sexual and non-German in my two uni classes

Ethereal

The secondary school I went to was multicultural so it was great. However, I was thrown back when I went to a white-dominated sixth form and it was very preppy and clique-like but I soon settled in and made some great friends.

fridayteenage

Yes.

Most of the people I know are white.
Most of the people I've lived with are white.

Nikolai.

Nope Miami is full of Latinos

Petty Bourgeoisie

Achilles.

I am typically the only non-heterosexual around, especially at family functions.

LuLuDrops

Latinos are a supermajority here so in that aspect, no. If we're talking gays then probably a few times I was the only one

or maybe not

Get out of the closet, hennies

Abyssy

Not race, I'm white. But I'm usually the only vegan so I know what it feels like.
