#ethnically ambiguous

This is going to be kind of an unpopular opinion.

But please don't Ever use the term" Racial Ambiguous-" for a person who's race you already know. It's demeaning it feels Hella yucky. Especially if the person is mixed race. I once saw a Quote describing Chells face model from Portal as racial Ambiguous in the very same paragraph that they also told us her irl actress was Japanese and Hispanic. Don't do that. Please Especially don't do that for Asian mixed people. We already get a lot of shit for not looking "Asian enough" when we're hispanic, white, or godforbid black! I know the original post didn't mean it that way. So I never commented about it. But someone irl told me I was "Ethnicly Ambiguous" mid conversation after telling them that I'm Asian/ Hispanic. THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY!! I JUST TOLD U WHAT I AM!

(This also goes for people who are (not mixed) but also not as romanticized too! If someone tells you they're Laotian or ghanaian. You dont look the in the eye and go Uhhh idk I can't tell what u are. You just look diffrent! That's rude! Dont do that! Give urslef a chance to learn about there culture. In a polite way!)

Ethnically Ambiguous has always been a fantastic, important podcast. They've been doing some deep, well-informed dives into Palestine of late, too. Go listen to Shereen and Anna in any of your podcast apps!

Sometimes I wish I had money to get a DNA test because the fact my father was adopted and didn't know his parents REALLY makes me wonder.

When you’re ethnically ambiguous

[alyssanapps]

Goin in a little feelings rant real quick. The purpose of this post is to help find others like myself. While I realize finding someone with my exact bg is almost impossible I’m just trying to get some advice or kinship from other mixed persons. My mother is Quechua Bolivian and Dominican. My father is Italian, and Jewish (Romanian and Polish). I never start a new job without spending the first week sifting through the “what are you?” questions. I never can say “I’m Native American.” without someone in the room telling me South Americans don’t count as Native American. My white family who say “race doesn’t matter” will never stop making “silly offhand” offensive and mildly racist jokes. These things should sound incredibly familiar to all other mixed people and I know we all have literally hundreds of stories to tell. How do you handle it? How do you feel accepted? How to you become an ally to others?

This year has brought a lot of anger into many of our lives with the current political climate and news. I’ve been thinking so much about all the families at the border even today who are being detained. Contrary to the public eye, there are several indigenous families who don’t speak Spanish and are stuck in detention centers. Who is giving them a voice? Who is assisting with letting them know why they’re being detained and how are they even getting placed into detention without being able to communicate? Does anyone even care? Has anyone else had moments from this past year effect them and their feelings on their identity?
