Am i considered racist if..

its not exactly a vent but it bothers me a lot. a lot of people tell me i look racially white, when i don't feel that way. it makes me somewhat insecure (not because i get offended but because they describe me as something i am not). I'm racially brown but i am too pale to be considered "brown". Most people would describe me as white, or golden (since i have a yellow/ sandy tint). But what bothers me most is that i find myself brown and others get mad at me for saying that. maybe not dark brown but a lighter shade of brown. because of my anatomy, biologically. As an example, some people are black but can look brown, should they identify as brown then? No, because biologically, they are black. they have the features of a black person (the anatomy) and probably come from a black family or a country that's mostly black-inhabitant. Which would make them 100% black. But i could get the idea of physical looks- they could look brown to strangers. I dont know if this is a good or bad opinion to have, or if i should just accept that im "white". Altough i dont feel like i have the biologically correct anatomy or culture to be called that. And no, i dont identify as brown because i want to, its because i come from a brown family. and a country thats inhabited mostly by brown people.

race is an Issue nobody talks about it, it seems you have identity issues.
