Yes I do. I grew up in the poor areas of Lima where looking white as i did meant I was other. I grew up always having to watch my back. I grew up always having to prove myself because of the innate distrust most people have of the European looking people.

I have been stabbed, mugged, jumped, etc. because of the way I looked. I grew up carrying weapons everywhere I went because of the way I looked. What about you?
