One major source of confusion is this, and I really want you to consider this dynamic no matter how much you hate me:
White America is exceptional among Earth's peoples in that they have basically no ethnic identity. It was conditioned away for the sake of capitalist economic efficiency. It's being gradually conditioned away in other groups, but they were plunged into the experiment far sooner.
The attachment other groups have to their ethnic identity is perceived as confusing & sometimes humorous. So they can be "insensitive" then act bewildered when people are offended.
At the same time they're incomparably infatuated with foreign cultures & extremely eager to mix/engage because of this same lack of ethnic identity.
(Which is why they lost their homelands in a single generation and their offspring are treated like **** — the world is a cruel place and "nice guys" get singled out/gangbanged).
It's the people who keep up with the latest ethnic terms, taboos, boundaries as dictated by TV & academia that you have to worry about in regards to sincere racism (professional sabotage, physical threats). They aren't "having fun". They're deeply entrenched in their ethnic identity and see the US as a free-for-all where only one group will remain standing.
You are genuinely mistaken in believing that I'd never be "accepted" or that I would be "treated like a terrorist". It has not been my experience.
