i am predominantly YT and you wouldn’t believe the amount of times i’ve been called ‘exotic looking’ by other white people because i have almond eyes and dark hair. they always feel the need to mention it, even in passing. i have so many stories from working retail

i dread the ‘where are you from’ question because they don’t actually want to know, they want to know why i look ‘different’ to them. that’s how i know they’re a fucking white supremacist.

& for anyone genuinely wondering, i don’t have a lot of info on my family history. my mom is a pale blonde woman so i’ve always considered myself caucasian. just want to share some of my experience living in a rural shithole

one time a man came into my store and asked me if i was an *redacted asian slur* i was so stunned i just looked at him and said “no” and he BOWED TO ME and walked away

i don’t want this thread to seem like i understand what it’s like to be oppressed by racism because i don’t. i’m white and i work to recognize the privilege that comes with that. i guess i just want to show how ready they are to attack you if they find out you’re not like them
