X and my skin colour and discrimination

1•akeil-zarudny•1h ago
I woke up today with functional neurological disorder fndhope.org. I am Jamaican and Ukrainian so I look like I got a great tan. I went to Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto as a History major. I like many am still not finding employment easily today. I go onto x.com and find that Muslims on Musk's account are being labelled as rapists. This concerns me given my skin condition lol. And apparently now border control is using AI to scan people's faces with data-sets trained on x.com. Does anyone here know what is going on better than I do? I'm scared for my life. I live in forest-hill Toronto with my parents and brother.
