I, however, feel privileged because I don't have that much melanin in my skin and frequently pass of as white among people who don't know me. With the instances of police brutality among minority communities and essentially the criminalization of conduct by people of color, I can't even imagine the lives and the fears of black undocumented/DACAmented immigrants. I really want to know though. If any of you feel comfortable talking about it, I really would love to hear your thoughts.
