After growing up white in a small upper-Midwestern town with a nearly all-White population, traveling both within and without the US and seeing how race operated in interactions let me see how race was operating in that lack of interaction too. Living as a racial minority in Asia was one of the best things I ever did for an understanding of how much the color of your skin colors everything, from your perceived personality to your perceived IQ. A temporary minority experience will never be the same as a life in the minority, but boy can it give you some hints.
