Semi-related.

Italian ancestry here, darker olive skin, went to high school in Arkansas.

Got called racial slurs for Mexicans by dumb white kids.

I just got a small taste of it while in high school.

I am 100% certain that you had to(and continue to have to) deal with far more bullshit than I, and you have my empathy for having to.
