I feel so much more comfortable with mixed and black people.
I think it's just because I've lived around white people all my life. From elementary school to middle school, I've only had 3 close black friends. I had my "group" of the majority white girls, and eventually that all tumbled last year. From middle school up until now, my 4 closest friends were white/mexican, black, or fully hispanic. Idk, I'm rarely around my black family, there's only 1.5% black people in this city of 72,000.
So anytime I'm around them, I just feel in place. I fit in better than a school full of white people. We have more of the same interests like music, humor, and what not. I'm looked at more in a positive way for being mixed, instead of no benefit when I'm around white people. I don't know, I just feel more comfortable overall. I had a good night tonight with my best friend Dominique, and her friends from another school and cousin. (:
