    1. If you do well in a situation, do you expect to be called a credit to your race? Or to be described as “different” from the majority of your race?

      This is a stereotype that I've always experienced in the United States since I first came to U.S. People naturally assume that all Asian people are nurds who are really good at math. They consider this as a talent that every asian has innately. Likewise, people usually believe that African American are not smart enough to perform well in academics but are all good athletes and rappers.

    2. White privilege is nonsense.

      White privilege is not that you noticed that you have a privilege but is that you never feel like you are being constrained by your skin color or you are being reminded of your skin color all the time.

    3. When you use the “nude” color of underwear and Band-Aids, do you already know that it will not match your skin?

      The author pointed out a cruel fact that we spontaneously think that the nude color is the skin color of white people without notice that there are also people who have different skin colors. This unintentional neglect illustrates that the phenomenon of racial inequality is deeply rooted in our society from all aspects. Similarly, it’s hard for black people to find a barbershop that knows how to deal with their hair. In fact, in the mainstream society, the right and voice of colored people are still being neglected.
