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.
holy crap is she ragebaiting u or something what’s wrong w arabs omg im so sick of everyone hating them. yeah you SHOULD be offended. girl kick her out of ur life cuz whatever she’s on, it ain’t making her wise at all.
what a ridiculous statement to make about arabs and indians when white ppl are the absolute worse, hello have we forgotten...... reply
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.

1. There is nothing more happier than loving your own ethnicity and culture so don't be ashamed
2. Cut her off even if she said "I'm not talking about you" deep down u both know it's about u even if she says sry a mentality like that is not sth u can change over night so she will still be racist inside reply
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! reply
As always another day for me to be grateful for not being white.
Anyway im curious about how are you still friends with that bitch ass of a girl. Also instead of asking others you should ask it to yourself. Are you offended? Are you hurt? If so then cut her off from your life forever and be as proud of you root as you should be. 1 reply
i am mixed too and am from outskirt state of my country and it have always been difficult to adjust with mainland people and my own people cause my physique and looks don't match any ethnicity exactly and i can absolutely relate to you. its very important to surround yourself with people who make u feel normal in your own body and life and i believ...... reply
That’s crazy that she’s comparing white people to snow as if their history and body is pure, and people of color to dirt like melanin is dirty and we taint the linage. Before “other” races came here (assuming other is just anyone not white), white people BROUGHT them here during the transatlantic slave trade. idk what time frame is “befo...... reply
