Have you considered perhaps that you're the edge case?

I've lived in the US my entire life. I'm East Asian. I've encountered racism.

Given two persons of minority descent, one who claims to have first-hand experience of racism, and another who claims that racism is largely a myth, why would I believe the second over the first?

why would you believe the first over the second? It boils down to your outlook on life - if you're Eeyore, everything's a dark cloud.
