i don’t wanna be Mexican anymore

I js dont like being mexican i hate it. I’m very white washed like I’m no Sabo and I’m light skinned with thinner lips. I js look white and act like It. All my friends r very Mexican and they all joke about it I always joke with them and try to act like it doesn’t hurt but it does hurt me. I don’t feel like i belong with them I just I don’t feel like I’m Mexican.

Sounds more like you hate how you are treated and I get it, it sucks when you're perceived as less than simply for either how you look or if you have hard time or just can't speak Spanish.

As a kid I remember I didn't feel like I belonged to either side.

Hopefully you'll come to see that what they say says more about them than you and you don't need to look a certain way or to reject a part of yourself because people are making you uncomfortable about if.

Also don't feel bad about yourself and hopefully one day you'll feel better and have friends that don't make you uncomfortable to point you hate a part of your background
