Thanks. And the results for the individual are not necessarily the same in that moment.
The difference between "haha...this Black guy jokingly said 'you all look alike' when he confused me with my friend" or "that was an offensive thing to say"
versus "I'm reminded that I'm just THE Asian person in this group" or "that was an eery flashback to a particular time in this nation's history."
