this tweet/thread is riddled w issues. white passing poc are not white bc whiteness & white privilege is only truly afforded to those who are white by *white standards*. the access they experience bc of their appearance is highly conditional & unstable. https://twitter.com/jessi_ex/status/1252054660879392768

some are comfortable describing themselves as “white (insert identity of color/ethnic discrimination here)” based on their personal experience. but you can’t just ascribe that to a demographic. like, who “looks white” is extremely dependent on situation & location

what looks like a “white person” in america looks like an “ethnic person” in europe, and vice versa. what looks white to you looks ethnic to a f*scist
