It's not impressive. I've experienced far worse than what you're highlighting and I'm white.
Also important to point out the goalpost shift from people acting like there's some active Nazi takeover of Portsmouth to talking about micro aggressions and colonialism.
Also, if you're Puerto Rican with any Spanish ancestry, you're as much a "colonizer" as any of us. In fact, more so because your ancestors were definitively "colonizers" if you do, while a lot of us just came from struggling farmers and tradespeople and such. Not that you should be blaming people for presumed crimes of their ancestors based on their skin color (because that's what racism actually is), but it sounds like you do and it's as hypocritical as it gets.
