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?
youre only the exception because youre her friend. if you weren't her friend, she would have been hating on you too. you shouldnt be friends with those who clearly see you as less equal. sorry you have a trash friend like that but its best to get rid of this friendship :/
