My brain wasn't switched into another man's body. I'm still the same old bastard. I just extremely disagree with the idea of completely looking at everything that's mildly and vaguely racist just as we would actual racism. If someone expects me to act any other way than the way I want to be, they will be disappointed.
It's not natural to put so much focus on extremely despising and monitoring something if you want it to go away. It's like poking a fire, it just flares and gets bigger.
People make too much of what is the past. We should focus on now and the future, but we can't do that if we overreact and repeat the past, we're doomed to stay in the past. Mainstream countries dish out the same rights to everyone now. If anyone is ever left behind it is their own fault for the choices they make. That goes for anybody, and using your race and some speculative bullshit as an excuse for why life sucks most of the time will get you even further down the shitter.
Surely you understand that logic.
