Someone please explain to me how people can still treat you with no respect on account of your race when you are physically helping them to stay alive and well.

I honestly have no idea. Its crazy to me how people can be racist when we are saving their lives or providing them care.... Its crazy.

Right!! And how they can have such hatred even though we are still caring for them. Do you find it difficult to demonstrate compassion in these situations?

Because to them you are still their servant just a medical one. And you cant possibly be as intelligent or as skilled as your non poc counterparts

This one hit me hard. That's exactly how I feel sometimes. I had to admit it because I've worked so hard to get where I am but I am still somehow treated less than. I'd always hoped for better than this

I guess some people just don't have it in them to act like civilized, decent human beings. I mean, is it really so hard?

Thanks for that encouragement, I needed to hear it. I feel like I usually do a pretty good job, but I have felt incredibly discouraged by it all this week. I know I can't change the beliefs that people (and their families) have held for many generations, but it still feels hurtful to to disrespected or treated as less than by these people whom I've only tried to help
