Talking with someone who will understand your context
Participant 1: Talking with someone who can relate with this stuff would be helpful [...] so they won't misunderstand what you're saying. They will understand your context and it is easy for them to give advice from that perspective.
Participant 2: Let's say you were Black, if you talk to a white person you might accidently say something offensive. [...] So it's better to have somebody from the same country who you can feel freely to talk to.
Participant 1:Oh! Someone who understands when you're quiet, they just understand what you are saying.
