I get that I look white. I can’t tan for shit. My skin is lighter than all my family members. But I AM MEXICAN. I get “You’re Mexican? Speak Spanish?”, “I thought you were white. You look white.”, “Who in your family is Mexican?” “What part of Mexico is your family from?” “Well, you’re not Mexican if you were born here.”, But you’re like half Mexican right? Not full Mexican?” A FUCKING LOT. It is ANNOYING.
I don’t need to prove I am Mexican by speaking Spanish. And I never learned to. My grandmother didn’t speak to me in Spanish growing up. Whether I could speak it or not shouldn’t say if I am Mexican or not.
“You look white.” So I don’t freaking tan well. I turn cherry red and I peel. But I am Mexican and if you keep repeating “well you look white” I will get so fucking annoyed. Idk it’s just rude. How anyone else get annoyed when being called any other race is how I get by being called WHITE. >.< My Salvadorian friend gets upset when being called Mexican, same as I do with white.
Is it that freaking hard to believe I am Mexican? Seriously like I gotta tell you every single person in my family who is Mexican... Which is my whole family. I am not gonna sit there an explain how someone in my family makes me my race.
So because I am Mexican I must be from Mexico? I can’t be from a shitty place is Cali called Fresno? No? Oh okay sorry. I didn’t know I had to be from there.
Again. Oh what the heck? Just read what I put above.
Sorry but I get so annoyed with how I “can’t” be Mexican cuz I “don’t look like it”. I am done with this rant. No one reads my crap anyways it was just for me tho to let off steam.
