Dark White Guy, Please Stay Mute

Joe DiPietro
Oakland, CA

As a short, dark white guy who’s been called “kike,” “spic,” and “raghead” by white guys, “gringo” or “anglo” by Hispancis, “dago” and “WOP” by blacks, I’ve learned what voice I have in the discussion about race and ethnicity. None. Yeah, I know–I haven’t lived the oppression. I’ll be a good boy and shut up now. Hope that pleases everyone.
