If I didn't feel like it would be... weird, putting too much focus to the difference itself, I think I'd thank my non-white friends for the fact that when I do say/do something that seems off to them, they tell me so.
Though since it's always been "I know you didn't mean this, but this is how it looks" I have a secret fear that there's been something and they don't tell me because they think I don't want to hear it, but... I don't think it happens.
I just don't want to be someone who makes anyone else ever feel like that. I love my friends, I would do anything for my friends - I would hate so much to hurt them because of race, when it's something that's a part of them and that means it's something too that I love.
