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?
she's stupid and ignorant. don't spend your braincells on her. yes, you should try to correct her but if her neuroplasticity is at 0 then don't waste your time trying to change her. always be proud of your heritage!
