Thank you for your honesty. You're trying to be a nice person in a racist environment, after being the victim of crimes and after receiving racial slurs. It's not like any of those people came back and apologized to you -- if you felt hurt and angry, it's understandable. Aim for focusing on people as individuals, and you won't fall into the trap that the others did. You'll be able to separate the behavior from the person or the behavior from the racial group.
