being a poc and having mixed ethnicities is hell on earth!! :]
why you may ask?? well ill tell you long yap warning
every interaction when people ask if im just “black” goes so horribly people think im making this shit up NO. im just visibly a black dude,,, cmon,,,
“theres no way youre part irish you dont participate in anything culture-wise/have an accent!! D:” have you ever heard of irish americans you dumbass not. EVERY mixed person is gonna sound “like their culture” thats actually terrible of you to expect,,,
then theres the latino part of me thats pretty small but its THERE. YOU CANT SAY ITS NOT THERE IT JUST DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT??? STOP.
“you were born in america youre not really a latino you dont even look like it/celebrate their holidays” hello my names bnnui and im coming in with the steel chair to hit you
it bugs me so badly. stop stop stoppp youre doing a bad job at accepting mixed people,,,
the ONLY reason i cant celebrate/embrace the parts of me that are special to me being a poc/irish/latino bla bla bla is because. my parents are actually evil!! they associate everything that isnt a religious holiday as a bad thing!!!
black history month?? go fuck yourself (my parents are literally poc hello??? what are we doing…)
the day of the dead?? satanic horrible ritual that has NO. meaning and is entirely bad stay home,,,
i don’t even know if there are any cultural holidays/celebrations that exist for the irish part of me and even some poc related stuff they keep me so naive and sheltered i want to embrace this please stop making me shove it down….
i feel caged get meoutttt
