Don't call me white (person) by Deborah909

I feel very resistant when other people refer to me as "white."

Coming from a Jewish-American family, I grew up hearing about hate groups such as the KKK and the Nazis, who wanted to exterminate people like us because we were an "inferior race." Well, of course we're not inferior, but how can we be members of the same race as Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members?

To this day, when I hear references to "white people," I feel a tiny spasm of dread followed by confusion: "Uh-oh! White people! Here comes the Klan! Oh, you mean people like ME? No way!"
