White Americans learn what it's like to be marginalized
-- Confront discrimination, and don't let it derail your dreams.
-- Expect unfairness but take it in stride, work hard and persevere.
-- Accept that you have to be twice as good as those in the majority.
-- And when someone tries to tell you "up" is "down" and when someone feeds you nonsense, call them out on it.
Good luck. Stay strong.
