Black excellence

At least once or twice a week someone will joke about how I'm the diversity student, or how affirmative action is so great for me, or how professors feel bad for me so they give me higher grades to avoid racial lawsuits. Other times people expect me to be the spokesperson for black people and I (kindly) remind them that I don't speak for all black people and that I'm just one opinion. They don't seem to like that.

I live on the West Coast in SoCal. Picture of me is on my reddit account if you wanna know what I look like. Context doesn't matter, it's sometimes just brought up at random and other people say purposefully casually racist things to me (ex. "I bought you watermelon soda! You like that right?" Instead of just asking me what I wanted to drink.) just to elicit an emotional response from me.

I don't mean to throw white guys under the bus with this, but it's 99% of the time from a white guy who has a problem with me it seems.
