Respectfully, do not come and comment on my article about my racialized experience living in Malta when you know nothing about what its like to be a person of color, let alone a women of color such as myself.

Do not try to use your place of privilege to undermine or dismiss my very real and lived experience facing racism daily on that island, and do not use your 'black friends' token here. You know nothing about what black people such as myself faced in Malta besides your ignorant view that these things happened to me because “shit happens”. Not when you live in a racist xenophobic society such as the Maltese does “shit just happens”.
