I've been blindsided so many times trying to have conversations that were even just tangentially related to race and seeing people react in completely nonsensical ways.
It's just a disturbing feeling when you don't know what it is.
Like when some black person's accomplishment is over-hyped beyond all reason or their misdeed underplayed or a white's misdeed exaggerated. Morality is suddenly flipped and nobody tells you what the new rules are. And even asking about the strangeness of the interaction is treated as hostility.
