hello reminder that it& #39;s no one& #39;s place to invalidate your ethnicity based on what their personal standard of whether you "look enough of the race you& #39;re part of" for their liking

there is a huge difference between "you have more privilege than others in your group because of white supremacy in this country/other colonized areas where whiteness was forcibly made the thing you assimilate to" versus "you are white if you don& #39;t fit my standards"

also, please stop trying to distill people into weird phenotypes of what you think a specific group looks like? History is fluid? There& #39;s ethnicities and groups who& #39;ve mixed together whose names and cultures are lost to history and what someone looks like sits on that foundation

and finally, please stop trying to fit the entire world into American standards of marginalization. Marginalized identities in other countries fall along multiple other lines including religion, what tribe you& #39;re from, geography, etc
