It cheered me to read what you wrote. Lately, the political climate has been dragging me down, emotionally, and it was nice to read such an uplifting story.

I've waited a bit to respond, because often my explanations get me into even more trouble!
This isn't a comment that I just walk up to random people and say. People who know me get it.
I often attend things, and be a part of groups where I am the only person of color. Most of my friends and colleagues are Caucasian. Not any type of conscious choice. It has just worked out that way. Having grown up that way, I'm comfortable with it.
Anyway, when I bake something for someone, and they ask, "What's the occasion"? I could answer that it's in appreciation for all the kindness they have shown me. Honestly, they'd probably fall over from shock. When I say, "It's be nice to White people day", they smile. They understand that's just me being me.
Things like ethnic jokes, no. I never do that. Maybe it's an arbitrary line that I draw? Idk. But, my intent is never mean spirited.
Anyway, thanks for calling me out on it. Often others can see more from their vantage point.
