She paused. "What does 'white' have to do with it?"
And that's when I realized I was racist. It's as small as that. It's a fact you state that you don't even think about. Because it's there, it's always been there, you've never given two thoughts about it and you're surrounded by people who haven't either. Rich equals white, and I had no idea.
"Haha," I said. "You know what I mean."
