idk if this is insensitive so i apologize if it comes off that way but i feel like as a biracial person not from US (completely different place + racial identities) seeing all this bullshit w ppl being racist abt pete then claiming they can't be racist bc he's """"white passing"""" hits so so so close to home. is there a term for the specific racism biracial ppl face bc. lol (<-said with utter pain and agony).
full disclosure I am white so keep that in mind lol but yeah. my friends and I were talking last night about this like I ASSURE you that pete wentz has deeply complex and complicated feelings about rave and how he does or does not fit into forced black/white racial dichotomies that the US is obsessed with. And that's not for you to have for him or assume what he feels or put on him. but so many of these people don't want to actually have a conversation about colorism and code switching and actual shit so they need to shut up about ""white passing"" because it is a DEEPLY complex issue. plus it's always the people who want to bully people in the scene for having any trace of non-white features that want to use "they pass as white" as a get out of racism free card like... girl
