Being mixed
What y’all think about being mixed?
One of my closest girl friends proudly says that she’s racist, like: “our country was so nice before other races came here.” The thing is, I’m mixed — my father is West Asian, and we naturally have thinner eyes and tanned skin.
She reposted some corny TikTok video that said something like “don’t mix your snow with dirt,” and I reached out to her saying likeee that’s not very nice.
She was like, “Oh no, I don’t mean YOU and your ethnicity, it’s about Arabs and Indians. Why are you offended?”
Growing up, I always felt awkward for not fitting in. My last name is long, my name isn’t local, but I’m very proud of my father and I don’t think it’s something I should be ashamed of.
So what do you guys think? Should I be offended?
That is such vile and disgusting rhetoric she is spewing. You should absolutely be offended because its people like that who say "im not talking about YOU"/"you're one of the good ones!" Who will be quick to drop you if the way they perceive you changes. Like if you say or do anything to defend marginalized communities.
"Don't mix snow with dirt" ......
