you’re still a woc even if you haven’t experienced discrimination. Facing racism is not the only requirement for being a person of color

I would say that you are still a woman of color; you just haven’t faced the sort of discrimination that typically comes with being mono-racial, but that doesn’t disqualify you from the title.
