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.

There was a discussion on radio last year about a young teen, I think, of black racial origin, saying she identifies as white because culturally she is and has nothing to do with black culture. You reminded me of that.

@PhilDeep What exactly is "identifies as white" ?

@Queendragonfly Beats me. Her interviewer seemed equally confused.

@PhilDeep It's just for insecure people who are racist and biased towards their own ethnic group.

They think being white is some type of salvation from having suffers.

Its as if I should claim I'm identifying as black because of my traumatic experiences from white people. And that would indicate I have a stereotype set about black people, which is so racist.
