Pre-Christmas Musing: White Proximity Will Not Save You

Pre-Christmas Musing: White Proximity Will Not Save You

This Pre-Christmas Musing was sparked by two things:

• Recent headlines involving Nicki Minaj
• A conversation I had with an Uber driver on my way home to Mexico

Together, they made me reflect on something I’ve said many times before — and something that feels especially urgent right now:

Proximity does not equal protection.

This is a travel-informed reflection on immigration, culture, power, and the dangerous misunderstandings many people have about the United States — particularly when it comes to race, politics, and belonging.

This is not a surface-level conversation.
And it’s not meant to be comfortable.
