Being biracial is weird. I don't understand how any white person in the world can't conceptualize, if imperfectly, the ways in which being a BIPOC is uniquely tiring, but then I remember that weird relationship I have with bad news about people who look like my family but not me.

If this is horrible enough for me that every now and then I need to lean on my partner and put my phone down- what the fuck does that mean when it's aimed at you?

How do I express this to white people who've never experienced it?

It's this position where I know empathy is possible, and I know understanding certain things without having experienced them is possible.... but shit, I'm not straight, so I can't talk about what being straight is like. I'm not 100% white, so I can't talk about what that's like.

(The character limit is probably one of the main reasons I kept away from using Twitter for so long. Because see, nuance needed. Being biracial is weird, but this thread is specifically about one of those races being white, & my skin being white.)
