saw this on twitter and related so much to it. now that people of #mixedraceheritage are talking more about identity especially on social media, ive learned that just like we're mixed with different races/ethnicities, there are also different types of #mixedidentities! ive learned some #identify as: • mixed: i'm more than one race, im not just one thing. i'm a fusion. im not just this. im not just that or this and that. im all wrapped up in one beautiful package. i'm mixed and proud of it! * one or the other: some #mixedracepeople were only exposed to one side, relate to one side, raised by one side. though it's in my blood, i can't relate or identify as the other race(s) i am and that's ok! if that's YOUR choice, again don't let anyone force you to choose one side or the side they prefer to make them feel comfortable!! • mixed and: i'm proudly mixed/biracial/multiracial AND i'm 100% of everything i'm mixed with too. blood quantum does not define me. if i'm mixed with black and asian for example, i'm every much as black and asian as i am mixed. i am a black woman. i am an asian woman. i am a mixed woman. i wouldn't be mixed without those two things and im proud of all that i am!! • half/part: i am half this and half that. i am part this and part that. i know blood can't be split in parts; i'm a combination of both my parents. im half my mom, half my dad. i don't feel comfortable saying i'm full anything. i feel that takes away from the ones who actually are. im proud to be more than one thing! • whatever you choose, you're valid! some say all of this in different ways and languages: #hapa #blasian #eurasian #metis #metisse #transracial, some parts of the world still say #mulatto this is a controversial take to some, especially monoracials bc they're not us. they don't understand and some don't want to. iykyk. what are your thoughts? do you agree? disagree? is there a mixed identity that isn't mentioned? what do you think of the article? let's discuss but let's be respectful of each other. 💙🤍 #mixedgirlproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLd3CguqA7/?utm_medium=tumblr
