not the kind of thing i like to bring up but just want to say as a passing thought that it& #39;s really shitty how white people are valued more for ????? reason and now in my adulthood i realize more and more how damaging it is when i only realized a year ago that im still

technically asian but was basically told growing up to always vouch as being white for school& #39;s sake for it to "look better" or some shit???? whenever they had those forms that asked what race you were (back then there was no mixed race option so i had to only pick one race)https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">

because of this i grew up always assuming that i was never "asian enough" and that i was just a white person and that i didnt have the right to call myself asian

literally only just within a year now someone told me that i still count as asian and i was MIND BLOWNhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">

imagine LOCAL WOMAN IS TOLD BY SOMEONE ONLINE IN HER ADULTHOOD THAT BEING ONLY HALF A RACE STILL MEANS THAT YOU ARE THAT RACE AND ARE THEREFORE ALLOWED TO IDENTIFY AS THAT RACE LMFAOOOOOOOO

but yeah that all just bothers me a lot and i think about it sometimes /end

ok ik i said end but actual /end on this thread: the dumbest part is that i grew up raised with a lot of asian food/holidays/etc and all my friends when i was younger were asian (i always felt like the odd one out because i was "white") and yet i still felt i didnt get a pass LOL
