I am the same, but it can be problematic. I was at a wedding recently and drunkenly stumbled into a group of (white) people having a conversation about gun rights and how if they killed someone in self defense and there was a single person of color (not the word they used) on the jury they would be found guilty of murder.

I innocently assumed they were normal folks who were just a bit confused and began trying to enlighten them. It was not received well.
